The recent development of quantum algorithms has significantly pushed forward the frontier of using quantum computers for performing a wide range of scientific computing problems. This includes solving numerical linear algebra tasks for very large matrices, such as solving linear systems, eigenvalue decomposition, singular value decomposition, matrix function evaluation etc, as well as solving certain high dimensional linear and nonlinear differential equations, such as heat equations and wave equations. This workshop aims to bring together leading experts across different disciplines, including experts in solving related tasks using classical computers that can potentially inspire the development of new quantum algorithms; discuss recent progress made in the development of quantum algorithms for linear algebra and differential equations and the advances in classical algorithms; foster the discussion and pave the path towards identifying and overcoming challenging problems in science and engineering and for various industrial and technological applications.

The exceptional gain in precision quantum metrology (QM) enabled new application of quantum sensors to studies of fundamental physics ranging from dark matter searches to detection of gravitational waves. These new developments involve surprising and unexpected connections between QM methods and other quite different fields of physics. The conference will bring together scientists in very different subfields, connecting optics to condensed matter to atomic physics and quantum information to particle and gravitational physics. A major objective is to provide a platform for cross fertilization between theory and experiment and between different research areas to prompt new scientific discoveries. The conference aims to promote collaboration between particle physics experts working on the design and interpretation of fundamental physics studies with quantum technologies and discussing new ideas in QM for future applications.

What will quantum computers be useful for once we have them? Machine learning and optimization would be important applications if quantum computers were useful for them, but the level of quantum benefit is unknown. One aim of the workshop is to bring together experts in classical and quantum machine learning to discuss the role of mathematical proof as well as experimentation in understanding these topics. A second aim is to explore how classical machine learning techniques can help us build better quantum computers.

The ability to create and manipulate complex quantum states offers the potential for dramatic increases in computational power, measurement sensitivity, and information security. Understanding the dynamics of such entangled many-body states raises a number of mathematical and physical questions, as such states often lie beyond standard approximate descriptions used in different areas of physics. This workshop is devoted to the related problems of how quantum and classical computers can be used to attack important problems in many-body quantum mechanics across application domains. While the faithful representation of full many-particle Hilbert spaces on a classical computer is exponentially costly, efficient approximate representations for specific purposes have been discovered, such as tensor networks. Studying the dynamics of quantum computers in the current NISQ area leads naturally to questions of robustness and control.

The goal of finding better quantum error correcting codes gains motivation not just in fault tolerant quantum computing, but also for attacking major open questions in quantum complexity theory. This workshop will bring together leading researchers working on both the areas, with the aim of making progress on questions such as the quantum PCP conjecture, better quantum LDPC codes, quantum local testability and tests for quantumness.

Quantum science has made great strides in both providing a deeper understanding of nature and enabling innovative technologies. We are now approaching the exciting possibilities of “Quantum 2.0,” a technology revolution that embraces such phenomena as quantum superposition and entanglement to solve entirely new challenges and provide unique capabilities in large-scale systems. Realizing this potential will require overcoming the hurdles and building the infrastructure necessary to bring promising technology from research through prototype development to achieve robust commercial product solutions. Quantum West will highlight the future of applied quantum technologies and will provide a forum that addresses the interests of researchers, engineers, tech companies, investors, and governments—all contributors that can bring about a quantum-enabled future.

There has been an explosion of new experimental platforms to explore and control the quantum interactions between atoms and light. These include dense atomic media either in the form of ordered arrays or disordered ensembles, to nanophotonic or nanophotonics-inspired interfaces, to quantum electrodynamical circuits coupled to superconducting qubits. These new platforms exhibit an additional complexity not found in conventional atom-light interfaces, arising from factors such as the ability to engineer the dispersion relation of light, the reduced system dimensionality, and/or non-perturbative multiple light scattering. This conference will gather a diverse set of researchers together in order to exchange state-of-the art developments and to discuss, identify and pose grand challenges and opportunities for the field in the near future. Experimentalists working in these fields are encouraged to participate and share their perspectives of future experimental capabilities of many-body quantum optical systems. Researchers in related fields (such as Rydberg atom arrays, ultracold molecules, superconducting qubits for quantum computing, etc.) who see opportunities in linking with quantum optics are also welcome to attend. This broad exchange should catalyze important themes for discussion and development in the field.
