Description

The Banff International Research Station will host the “Exact Solutions in Quantum Information: Entanglement, Topology, and Quantum Circuits” workshop in Banff from February 9 – 14, 2025.
Quantum information science (QIS) directs itself to forms of computing and information processing that subvert classical bounds by exploiting quantum mechanical superposition and entanglement. Because of the appearance of first-generation quantum computers, so called noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices, quantum information science has received intense attention from the physics, mathematical, computer science, and chemistry communities. However, such NISQ devices are extremely limited in their capabilities. This workshop is devoted to providing the theoretical and mathematical underpinnings by which these limitations can be circumvented. To do so it will engage a wide ranging community of theoretical and mathematical physicists. Beyond the traditional research presentations, it will offer a short course aimed at early career researchers as well as a lecture aimed at the general public.
The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) is a collaborative Canada-US-Mexico venture that provides an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station is located at The Banff Centre in Alberta and is supported by Canada’s Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), and Alberta’s Advanced Education and Technology.

Workshop on Quantum Technologies (WQT) - COMSNETS 2025
2025-01-06 - 2025-01-10 | India
COMSNETS 2025

17th International Conference on COMmunication Systems & NETworkS
January 6 – 10
Chancery Pavilion Hotel, Residency Road, Bengaluru, India

Initiative by COMSNETS Association

The 20th century, often referred to as the information age, witnessed the first quantum revolution with the invention of transistors, superconducting levitation, atomic clocks, and superfluidity. There is a broad consensus that we are now at the cusp of a second quantum revolution, and that the 21st century will be even more disruptive with the development of new quantum technologies. By exploiting quantum resources such as superposition and entanglement, we can radically transform technologies from communication to computing. For instance, in the communication domain, quantum physics can offer the ultimate (information-theoretic) security; while for certain problems in computing, quantum computers can potentially offer speed-ups that are unattainable by their classical counterparts. Besides them, quantum sensing is another mature quantum technology that can offer sensors with sensitivities approaching the ultimate (Heisenberg) limit and highly miniaturized footprints, imperceptible by their traditional counterparts. The very fragility of quantum states, which is a hindrance to their scalability in communication and computing, makes them invaluable sensors. The technological readiness levels of these offerings are improving so rapidly that some of them have already become commercially viable.
With 2025 set to be the International Year of Quantum Technologies celebrating the 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics, and after a highly successful launch of QCom(P), the first international workshop on Quantum Communication and Computing at COMSNETS 2024, we are now ready to make it bigger, better and more general. Hence, going forward, we have expanded the scope and now present the Workshop on Quantum Technologies (WQT), which will be co-located with COMSNETS 2025 and will encompass all 3 major drivers of quantum technology as of today: sensing, communications and computing. The aim of this workshop is to bring together quantum researchers, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, developers, students, practitioners, educators, and programmers, from both academia and industry, working in this field. In this context, the workshop also intends to include the topic of understanding what it takes to bring more of the technology from an academic setting to real-world applications based on the industry requirements and technology development roadmap.
Call for Papers
Prospective participants are invited to submit their research contributions in the form of articles, surveys, tutorials, work-in-progress reports, extended abstracts, etc. that range from breakthrough ideas to real-world applications. This workshop would enable participants to present and discuss their accepted submissions via contributed talks and poster presentations. WQT features both experimental and theoretical presentations. This workshop also comprises keynote addresses and invited talks on areas deemed topical and of special interest to the attendees. Finally, the workshop, along with a dedicated industry session, aims to serve as a forum to exchange ideas, present new results, connect and foster collaborations. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Quantum Computing:

Qubit modalities – both theoretical and experimental results
Hardware, platforms and architectures for quantum and hybrid computing
Quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing
Software stacks, tools and programming languages for quantum-enhanced computing

Goal of the Quantum Energy Initiative Workshops

Launched in August 2022, the Quantum Energy Initiative is fostering a worldwide community of experts willing to develop scientific approaches to evaluating and minimizing the physical resource costs of emerging quantum technologies. This requires the synergy of a broad range of expertises, from fundamental quantum physics to enabling technologies, from hardware to software, from research to industry.

Building on the strong foundations at the first Quantum Energy Initiative Workshop (Singapore, Nov 2023), this second workshop will bring together highly renowned speakers of all these areas, to provide their vision on these exciting and essential questions. It will also leave time for discussions and crossed-fertilization to the build new methodologies and roadmaps. See Workshop Spirit.

TOPICS OF THE WORKSHOP – Research on energy or other resources in the following contexts:

Fundamental quantum devices: energy, entropy or resources at the fundamental quantum level.
Quantum hardware: macroscopic energy and entropy for quantum devices, including enabling technologies, etc.
Quantum algorithms and software: NISQ or large-scale quantum computing, quantum communication protocols, etc.
Hybrid HPC-quantum, reservoir computing, etc: High-performance computing (HPC) in hybrid with quantum technologies. Reservoir and Neuromorphic computing. Classical computing inspired by quantum algorithms. Other technologies that are hybrids of quantum and classical, etc.
Classical computing & classical information thermodynamics: resources in classical computing, fundamental bounds on classical information processing, etc.

2025 Winter School On Quantum Networks
2025-01-06 - 2025-01-10
The goal of the Winter School is to provide introductory tutorials at all levels in topics that are new to the participants, who include CQN students, postdocs, faculty, CQN industry partners, other outside qualified persons (including students at non-CQN schools), and industry and government scientists.
Each course is co-developed and co-taught by two people – a lead instructor and a co-instructor. Co-instructors are graduate students and postdocs. This arrangement, based on a program developed a decade ago by Michael Raymer and Judith Eisen (The Science Literacy Program at University of Oregon, https://scilit.uoregon.edu), has two purposes: to mentor students who wish to learn best practices in teaching under the mentorship of an experienced instructor, and to improve the quality of the short course by adopting best practices in inquiry-based teaching with the active participation of the co-instructor.
