This workshop will bring together researchers from academia and industry to study the capabilities of existing and upcoming quantum computers. Topics will include protocols for characterizing quantum noise, as well as tailoring fault-tolerance protocols to more concrete noise models. The other theme will be proofs of quantumness and other near-term algorithms suitable for such computers, as well as algorithms for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computers.

The 4th edition of the Quantum Matter International Conference – QUANTUMatter 2024 (San Sebastian, Spain) – aims at gathering the various communities engaged in the science and technologies of quantum information and quantum matter, to foster the incubation of new ideas & collaborations at the forefront of quantum technologies, emerging quantum materials and novel generations of quantum communication protocols, quantum sensing and quantum simulation. Quantum Information and Quantum Matter are two components of revolutionary treatments of information, which are becoming cornerstones for discovering and implementing disruptive paradigms in quantum computation and quantum technologies.

Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik

The last years have seen significant advances in the field of quantum technologies, consolidating the development of basic requirements for quantum computation. Protecting the quantum computation from noise and decoherence has become more topical than ever, challenging and bringing quantum error correction fairly close to the integration into practical quantum computers. However, to make such an integration viable, further innovations and advances are required in both theoretical research and engineering practice. This Dagstuhl Seminar is intended to be an interaction forum for senior and talented junior researchers, crossing boundaries between classical and quantum coding theory, and related areas of quantum technology and engineering problems. The aim is to exchange on the challenges and the toolsets that emerged in the different areas, towards creating a diverse and inclusive research network, where researchers from different domains can share ideas and knowledge, and inspire each other

Iowa State University, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Recent breakthroughs in quantum computing hardware have created an explosion of research and activity in quantum information science. The rise of “Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum” (NISQ) devices has revealed major algorithmic and architectural challenges within this new technology. For example, the potential roles of quantum and/or quantum-classical hybrid data structures on algorithm design and performance evaluation are subjects of intense research. The goal of the QCASA workshop is to showcase the novel studies and foremost applications of non-fault-tolerant quantum computers, and provide a timely forum for computational scientists, software developers, computer scientists, physicists and quantum hardware specialists to exchange and discuss ideas on current problems in quantum information science. The contributions in this workshop will help elucidate practical, near-term limitations of current quantum devices, gauge the effectiveness of a class of approximate circuits quantitatively, and garner insight on what degree of that approximation is optimal for a given regime of machine performance.

Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS)

This workshop will unite several communities of researchers focused on varying parts of the quantum software stack: the translation of quantum algorithms into instructions a quantum computer can understand (i.e., the process of quantum circuit compilation); the design, optimization, and verification of those circuits; circuit simulation; and the extension and scaling of methods to work with the fault-tolerant (error-corrected) devices of the future. The interaction of researchers at multiple layers of this stack will lead to cross-pollination of ideas that enables co-design of all these elements. Furthermore, the novel methods developed, and improvements in their scaling, will further drive quantum computing research and applications, bringing us closer to the solution of today’s most important problems.

OPTICA

Stimulating and facilitating the development of quantum information science and technology. On the edge of a technology revolution, Quantum 2.0 refers to the development and use of quantum superposition and entanglement in large engineered systems. Examples of such large quantum systems include quantum computers and simulators, quantum communication networks and arrays of quantum sensors. New technologies will go far beyond the (quantum 1.0) capabilities offered by single systems.

This lecture series is organized by the von Karman institute for Fluid Dynamics with the financial support of the NATO Science & Technology Organization.

This lecture series is suitable for individuals with a background in fluid dynamics and an interest in learning about the potential of quantum computing in this field.

The FTQT 2024 workshop will bring together researchers exploring different techniques for tackling noise in quantum computation, following up on the previous 2016 and 2020 editions of FTQT. The workshop's goal is to accelerate the development of new theoretical tools to improve the performance, efficiency and practicality of fault-tolerance protocols. The resulting theoretical work will help developers of quantum technology hardware to overcome challenges posed by decoherence.

LDPC codes - Dynamical codes - Fault-tolerant logical gates - Experimental implementations of fault-tolerant protocols

While classical cryptographic schemes always have to fear the risk of being broken, in particular with the possibility that quantum computers are built, quantum cryptography promises unconditional security solely based on the laws of physics. This field of research is currently in an exciting phase in which theoretical concepts and ideas are not only experiencing the transition to experimental implementations, but are also attracting the interest of industry. The Quantum Key Distribution Summer School is a five-day programme on theoretical and experimental aspects of quantum cryptography that aims at providing high-level training to young researchers entering this field. The goal is to equip them with a solid foundation in relevant approaches and techniques, enabling them to pursue their own independent research.

The Theory of Quantum Computation, Communication and Cryptography (TQC) is a leading annual international conference for students and researchers working in the theoretical aspects of quantum information science. The scientific objective is to bring together the theoretical quantum information science community to present and discuss the latest advances in the field. The 19th TQC will be hosted by OIST in Okinawa, Japan, in September 2024. It is a hybrid event, with focus on in-person participation. Talks will be streamed live, and an online discussion forum will be provided. Contributed talks should be in person.

This workshop will be centered around the topic of entanglement in many-body systems relevant for and connected to NP. The goal is to advance exchanges of ideas and techniques between NP and other fields of many-body physics such as condensed matter, quantum chemistry or quantum field theories. These areas are already well advanced in the characterization and use of entanglement for the description of many-body systems, and in the development of experimental techniques for producing and detecting entangled states. The knowledge acquired in these fields can guide progress in the development of entanglement-driven methods for classical and quantum simulations of nuclei, and in the identification of experiments probing entanglement in nuclear systems. Vice versa, specificities of many-body NP techniques can potentially be useful for other fields, and QIS in general. The workshop will explore these different aspects.
