In 2026, it will be 10 years since the first quantum computing device was put on the cloud by IBM. This event marked the beginning of an era where researchers from all over the world could access real quantum computers, assess their strengths and limitations, and develop tailor-made algorithms. Since then, several scientific fields have come together to extract the most from current-term quantum devices while preparing new algorithmic solutions for future quantum computers. The goal of this School is to expose students and young researchers to a large collection of areas in the state of the art of quantum computing, including topics of theory, hardware, and software. The current term quantum computers are imperfect, which limits some of the original quantum computing algorithms and applications. For this reason, the new generation of quantum computing scientists must know both the experimental phenomena and limitations and the possible applications, theoretical and software tools to exploit these devices.

Situated at the rapidly growing intersection of quantum physics and information theory, quantum resource theories aim to characterise the valuable resources that enable quantum technologies to surpass their classical counterparts. By developing general and rigorous methods to understand, quantify, and effectively exploit these resources, the field seeks to enable new theoretical frameworks as well as practical protocols that harness the full potential of quantum phenomena.

Physics-based computing explores alternatives to traditional transistor-based electronics, leveraging nonlinear phenomena in various physical domains to solve real-world problems. This approach extends the concept of analog computing, offering potential for sustainable, energy-efficient solutions in information and communication technologies. The demand for machine learning has surged, driven by advancements like ChatGPT, but the energy cost of digital, transistor-based computing remains high, particularly in large-scale data centers. In contrast, physics-based computing, such as physical reservoir computing, harnesses nonlinear dynamics in systems like magnetic skyrmions, photons, and spin waves to enable more efficient data classification, pattern recognition, and time series predictions. By operating in the nonlinear regime, these physical systems convert input signals into measurable outputs, offering a promising route to edge computing applications in fields like medical diagnostics, autonomous mobility, and smart energy grids. The strength of physical computing lies in its ability to process complex data with minimal energy consumption, without relying on traditional deep learning algorithms. Magnonics, spintronics, and photonics are key fields in this emerging area, offering systems that can serve as powerful, interconnected computational reservoirs. Spintronics, harnessing the electrons’ spin, enables the design of energy-efficient neural networks, while magnonics and photonics provide high-frequency platforms for wave-based computing. The integration of these fields, alongside other platforms such as superconductors, presents new opportunities for developing complex, scalable computing systems that can meet the growing demands of machine learning while advancing sustainable technologies.

The three core objectives of the event are: (i) Accelerating research by crossing disciplinary boundaries between chemistry, physics, math, computer science and engineering, theory and experiment, quantum information processing and its "hardware" materials. (ii) Training junior researches in QIS with tutorials, research talks, and by providing them with opportunities to interact directly with leaders in the field. (iii) Strengthening QIS research in Canada by promoting collaborations and increasing the visibility of Canadian contributions to the field. QIS has evolved into a broad field encompassing numerous subfields. The primary goal of this conference is to foster interactions and collaborations among researchers working across diverse areas of QIS. Unlike many conferences that focus on one specific subfield of QIS, this event aims to bring to the same room researchers from a wide spectrum of QIS topics, and including theory and experimental work. The event will cover the study of foundations and applications in QIS and various prominent physical platforms: photons, atoms, molecules, and solid-state systems. The second objective of the conference is to train the next generation of QIS researchers including senior undergraduates, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career researchers. The event will provide Canadian and international trainees with knowledge on the current state of the field and an understanding of key challenges in QIS.
