QCE20 Will Explore Disruptive Innovations in Quantum Research, Technologies, Applications, and Training
Registration is now open for the inaugural IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE20), a multidisciplinary event focusing on quantum technology, research, development, and training. QCE20, also known as IEEE Quantum Week, will deliver a series of world-class keynotes, workforce-building tutorials, community-building workshops, and technical paper presentations and posters on October 12-16 in Denver, Colorado.
“We’re thrilled to open registration for the inaugural IEEE Quantum Week, founded by the IEEE Future Directions Initiative and supported by multiple IEEE Societies and organizational units,” said Hausi Müller, QCE20 general chair and co-chair of the IEEE Quantum Initiative. “Our initial goal is to address the current landscape of quantum technologies, identify challenges and opportunities, and engage the quantum community. With our current Quantum Week program, we’re well on track to deliver a first-rate quantum computing and engineering event.”
QCE20’s keynote speakers include the following quantum groundbreakers and leaders:
Michelle Simmons, University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia
Jerry Chow, IBM Research, USA
Anne Matsuura, Intel Labs, USA
Alán Aspuru-Guzik, University of Toronto, Canada
Krysta Svore, Microsoft Quantum Research, USA
Kae Nemoto, National Institute for Informatics (NII), Japan
Jake Taylor, OSTP, QuICS, and NIST, USA
Patty Lee, Honeywell Quantum Solutions, USA
The week-long QCE20 tutorials program features 15 tutorials by leading experts aimed squarely at workforce development and training considerations. The tutorials are ideally suited to develop quantum champions for industry, academia, and government and to build expertise for emerging quantum ecosystems.
Throughout the week, 19 QCE20 workshops provide forums for group discussions on topics in quantum research, practice, education, and applications. The exciting workshops provide unique opportunities to share and discuss quantum computing and engineering ideas, research agendas, roadmaps, and applications.
The deadline for submitting technical papers to the eight technical paper tracks is May 22. Papers accepted by QCE20 will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The best papers will be invited to the journals IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering (TQE) and ACM Transactions on Quantum Computing (TQC).
QCE20 provides attendees a unique opportunity to discuss challenges and opportunities with quantum researchers, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, developers, students, practitioners, educators, programmers, and newcomers. QCE20 is co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Council on Superconductivity, IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (EPS), IEEE Future Directions Quantum Initiative, IEEE Photonics Society, and IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society (TEMS).
