Uncovering the Coming Wave of Quantum + AI

2 Days
50+ Speakers
In-Person

This new ground-breaking event brings together Quantum + AI leaders to tackle the most pressing issues and opportunities in one of the world’s most dynamic arenas.
Be part of IQT’s first QUANTUM + AI conference and exhibition covering the coming revolution of combining quantum computing with Artificial Intelligence (AI). QUANTUM + AI takes place October 29-30, 2024, in New York City.
Quantum computing and AI are highly synergistic. Quantum computing having the potential to significantly enhance AI capabilities. Quantum AI combines the power of quantum computing with AI to create new algorithms, machine learning techniques, search procedure and data processing techniques that are impossible to achieve with classical computers.
Quantum computing can supercharge AI by processing increasingly large and complex datasets more efficiently, leading to more robust insights and improved processes in sectors such as pharma, finance and the military and intelligence services. Quantum AI has the potential to revolutionize these and other industries by enabling faster machine learning, improved predictions, and enhanced optimization.
This coming Quantum AI revolution has many challenges, which we will also discuss at this event. These include better error corrected and fault tolerant quantum computing, quantum-optimized and novel software for quantum AI-based decision making. Despite these challenges, the synergy between quantum computing and AI holds great promise for advancing technology across many different sectors. This is why we are holding this first-of-a-kind event.
Agenda
The Quantum + AI Summit will feature a dynamic lineup of speakers and networking opportunities. Our agenda will be meticulously curated to address the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing quantum computing in the AI age today, as well as showcase behind-the-scenes look at applications and platforms being constructed.

10th International Conference on Quantum Information and Quantum Control (CQIQC-X)
2024-08-26 - 2024-08-30 | Toronto, Canada
Quantum Information Sciences (QIS) are enjoying immense fundamental and applied progress, with new ideas and techniques allowing precise design and control of quantum systems. Prominent subfields of QIS include quantum algorithms, computing and simulations, communications and cryptography, metrology, chemicals and materials discovery.
Importantly, ideas and methods from different fields of science: math, computer science, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, materials design, drug discovery, and even philosophy and finance, are coming together in current QIS research.
At CQIQC, we believe that to make breakthroughs in QIS, scientists need to be well-informed in ongoing developments in different subfields of QIS.
Our tenth annual conference (CQIQC-X), organized jointly by CQIQC and the Fields Institute, will cater to both senior and junior scientists, with sessions devoted to foundations and applications, theory and experiment, and pure and applied research. The conference will gather leaders from these different platforms to share the current state of the art in QIS, and learn from each other.
CQIQC-X will host the awards ceremony for the John Stewart Bell Prize for Research on Fundamental Issues in Quantum Mechanics and their Applications, along with talks related to the winner’s research.
While much attention is now being given to the technological ramifications of QIS, this conference’s foremost objective is to address the fundamental questions in the field, e.g., to understand the nature of quantum phenomena, complexity of quantum algorithms, protocols for secure quantum communication, algorithms for quantum molecular simulation.
The CQIQC-X meeting will spur interactions between these different sub-fields through a mix of invited and contributed talks, and posters, selected from a large pool of truly ground-breaking work from around the world. Participants will have ample opportunity for in-depth discussions and to meet researchers at all stages of their careers from both academia and industry.

2024-08-12 - 2024-08-16 | University of Rhode Island, Center for Biotechnology and Life Sciences Auditorium, 120 Flagg Rd, Kingston, RI, 02881, United States
Recent experimental advances in controlling quantum coherence present new opportunities to realize quantum simulation of complex quantum many-body systems. Quantum simulators based on a variety of architectures, including ultracold atoms and molecules in optical lattices, trapped ions, Rydberg gases, isolated spins in solids, and superconducting circuits, proffer rich playgrounds for Hamiltonian engineering and time-dependent control of many-body quantum systems. Many of these systems can routinely achieve parameter regimes and sizes that are seemingly intractable to simulate on a classical computer.
QSim is an international annual conference on quantum simulation that aims to bridge theory and experiment, bringing together physicists, engineers, chemists, material scientists, mathematicians, and computer scientists working at the forefront of quantum simulation and related problems that include applications, algorithms, verification, noise, scaling, etc. for both analog and digital approaches. A special session midweek will be devoted to charting the future of the field. We hope that this conference will stimulate interactions across disciplines and unveil new connections between seemingly disparate aspects of physics.

This community-driven effort builds on successes of the past, and aims to grow and be more inclusive by involving additional local, regional, national, and international cyberinfrastructure and research computing partners spanning academia, government, and industry. The PEARC conference series is working to integrate and meet the collective interests of our growing community.

In 2024, PEARC24 will be hosted in Providence, Rhode Island, from July 21 to July 25, with the general theme Human Powered Computing. Please visit the conference website for registration and more information: https://pearc.acm.org/pearc24/
