As quantum computing hardware is steadily evolving towards the quantum advantage regime, classical simulation of quantum computations is becoming more and more challenging, yet crucial for the verification, validation and improved design of the new quantum hardware and algorithms. As such, in recent years we observed a fast progress in new advanced classical techniques which have enabled more efficient simulations of an increasingly large number of qubits\/qudits. Importantly, these techniques and algorithms are able to take better advantage of modern classical high-performance computing platforms based on the heterogeneous GPU-accelerated node architectures.

The proposed workshop aims at bringing together researchers and industry practitioners from different disciplines to discuss challenges and applications of QML. Many machine learning techniques have quantum analogues that exhibit significant advantages over classical systems. For instance, quantum support vector machines have been shown to achieve exponential speedups over classical approaches, while quantum classifiers can derive hard-to-estimate kernels. Topological data analysis, principal component analysis, and relational learning on knowledge graphs further augment the list of quantum-accelerated machine learning (ML) tasks. However, the advantages of these techniques need careful consideration of subtle issues not present in classical approaches. Concrete practical applications of QML are still unknown. The proposed workshop fosters an interdisciplinary dialogue between experts from various fields, including AI, ML, software\/systems engineering, physics, and more. The workshop will also incorporate industrial users to identify application potentials and explore co-design ideas that enable special-purpose, hybrid quantum-classical appliances to be designed for problems of topical importance.

However, designing efficient quantum algorithms is a key aspect of achieving quantum advantage. Quantum algorithm design is challenging due to the unique nature of quantum computing. Traditionally, quantum programming has been done using quantum assembly language and qubit-level reasoning. However, as quantum computing continues to evolve, programming is going beyond these limits, requiring new tools and approaches to enable efficient algorithm design. The complexity of quantum algorithms is increasing, and the need for automation in quantum algorithm design, programming, and compilation is becoming more apparent. Quantum algorithm design requires an understanding of both the underlying quantum hardware and the problem that is being solved. Researchers are actively exploring existing and new approaches to algorithm design that can leverage the unique capabilities of quantum computing to solve problems more efficiently. Automating these processes can help to speed up the development of quantum algorithms, reduce errors, and improve the efficiency of quantum computing. In this workshop, we will explore emerging trends toward the automation of quantum algorithm design, programming, and compilation.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

However, to keep reducing the logical error rates by several orders of magnitude, a much larger number of protected qubits is imperative, which requires substantially scaling up current quantum computing platforms. A promising bet on architectural scalability is the modular multicore approach, which requires a tight interplay between quantum computing cores and quantum and classical communication links. Accordingly, we aim in this workshop to foster the interaction of these two emerging subdisciplines and related communities. For this to materialize, multicore architects must deeply understand the requisites of QEC codes, while code designers must be aware of the practical constraints and possibilities of multicore platforms and frameworks, including both communication and computation full-stacks. This symbiotic relationship pursues a virtuous cycle, facilitating ongoing advancements in qubit count and device reliability. To this purpose, in this workshop, we bring in experts from different communities to address common challenges and cross-dependencies between areas, namely (a) modular multicore architecture, (b) quantum error correction, (c) decoding design, (d) real-time quantum control, (e) communication technologies, and (f) compilation of large-scale quantum algorithms, all of them addressed mainly from an architectural design and implementation perspective with a multidisciplinary approach.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7fbbb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f7fbbb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\"><b>Keywords<\/b> \u2014 Multi-core architectures, Quantum error correction codes, Quantum communication, Real-time quantum control, Large-scale quantum algorithms, Quantum error correction decoding<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-288743f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"288743f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\"><b>Target Audience<\/b> \u2014 The target audience will cover several communities, areas, and backgrounds from both Industry and Academia, such as full-stack quantum computing architects\/engineers, quantum coding theorists, quantum device and communication link technologies, experts in quantum frameworks and compilation tools, quantum software engineers, digital circuits and VLSI designers of control and real-time decoders, physicists, whose main interest will be to learn both needs and solutions for the next generations of fault-tolerant large-scale quantum computers.

through the sending and receiving of carefully timed and shaped signals. Whether the user is aiming at implementing a quantum algorithm or automating system calibration, an interface that describes this timing and shaping will be present. We refer to solutions in this portion of the software stack as pulse-level. In their current state, pulse-level interfaces are often implementation-specific, leading to a large workload for developers. In the classical-computing world, this has been addressed using a common intermediate representation (IR), functioning as a central connecting point between frontends and backends. While in the quantum-computing world IRs are being actively developed, this field is only in early stage. In particular, the largest focus has been on the highest levels of the stack, which tend to abstract away many details about qubit control. However, pulse-level representations are essential to achieve high efficiency for NISQ algorithms, fault-tolerance, and system calibration. The pulse-level interface and those above it should ultimately be designed to make full use of the computational power in the control hardware. In this workshop, we bring together domain experts to discuss current developments and challenges for a pulse-level intermediate representation, languages and interfaces. We want to foster a discussion on the requirements for these building blocks in order to simplify compilation overhead and enable hardware accelerations. In particular, we aim at creating a shared vision on the roadmap for the pulse-level stack, with the potential to complement high-level IRs in a multi-IR structure.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-852c313 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"852c313\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\"> Quantum Software, Pulse Level, Pulse Level, Languages and Compilers, Intermediate Representations, Software Interfaces<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4761af elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b4761af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\"> \u2014 The workshop is aimed at all those involved in bringing the quantum software stack to practical utility. The target audience for this workshop is two-fold and we believe that this is one of the key elements that will make this workshop successful. On the one hand, we aim to attract researchers who have a more classical background in software stacks, computing architectures and computer science, and who have already, or are developing, an interest in contributing to the field of quantum computing. We want to encourage attendance from across different backgrounds as well as development platforms. On the other hand, we expect attendance from quantum scientists to quantum engineers that have a peaked interest in software and can contribute with their detailed physics knowledge. Finally, the workshop targets both experts from academia and industry as pulse-level control is timely for the R&amp;D roadmaps in both sectors.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\"

As quantum computing hardware is steadily evolving towards the quantum advantage regime, classical simulation of quantum computations is becoming more and more challenging, yet crucial for the verification, validation and improved design of the new quantum hardware and algorithms. As such, in recent years we observed a fast progress in new advanced classical techniques which have enabled more efficient simulations of an increasingly large number of qubits\/qudits. Importantly, these techniques and algorithms are able to take better advantage of modern classical high-performance computing platforms based on the heterogeneous GPU-accelerated node architectures. We seek to provide an open platform for sharing the state-of-the-art development efforts, exchanging ideas and best practices, and fostering research discussion and collaboration between all interested parties to stimulate the formation of an inclusive research community focused around this important topic.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7704dad elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7704dad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;, sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;,sans-serif\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;,sans-serif\">Quantum circuit simulation, Pulse-level\nsimulation, Stabilizer state simulation, Tensor network, State vector, Master\nequation, GPU computing<\/span><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;,sans-serif\"><\/span><\/p><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26be4e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"26be4e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b> <span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">\u2014 The workshop will be of interest to a broad research community from national labs, academia, and industry who deal with any aspects of quantum simulation and quantum algorithm development.

annually at IEEE Quantum Week. Quantum Computing (QC) is experiencing a turning point. It has been a theoretical promise since the beginning of the 1990s. A lot of research effort has been invested, especially in two areas. First, on the mathematics, logic, and algorithms area. Second, quantum physicists and materials experts have been working on implementing such a machine. Now, there are a few quantum computers available online through different providers. The industry is very optimistic about increasing computing power at a sustained rate during the following years. So, the promise of real software applications solving daily problems is close to coming. That is why the field now is attractive for software companies and startups. There are many public activities, either academic, commercial, or governmental, concerning QC, and the field is gaining much interest and investments. The workshop will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, and participants in the entrepreneurship ecosystem.<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-253c825 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"253c825\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> <span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Quantum Computing, Entrepreneurship, Intrapreneurship, Venture Capital, Technological Investment<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee638c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ee638c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\"> \u2014 Scientists, engineers, researchers interested in learning on how to develop their own start-up.

They are expected to enable information-theoretically secure communication, distributed quantum computing, distributed quantum sensing, and many more distributed quantum information processing applications. Currently, many efforts from academia, national laboratories, and industry around the globe are moving towards building real quantum networks. The experimental implementation of quantum networks involves large-scale and multidisciplinary efforts, however the layered structure of quantum network functionality has not yet reached consensus. As a result, quantum network implementations cannot be conducted without careful and extensive evaluation and validation. Analogous to their classical counterparts, quantum networks \u2013 which will eventually scale in multiple dimensions \u2013 demand simulation tools to guide implementation decisions and analyze protocol performance. Several quantum network simulators have thus been developed in recent years, while quantum network researchers continue to implement ad hoc simulations for specific research questions. For this emerging research field, it is important to foster a collaborative community that will further advance quantum network simulation to be more realistic, more accurate, more scalable, and more helpful. This proposed workshop thus aims at creating a forum for demonstrating the latest progress of quantum network simulation, identifying near-term research and development objectives, expanding the community, and forming new collaborations.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00b8f58 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"00b8f58\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">Quantum networks, simulations, discrete-event simulators, ad hoc simulators<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d54f6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3d54f6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\"> \u2014 We expect a diverse composition of attendees for this workshop: developers of quantum network simulators, computer scientists and theoretical physicists using simulation for protocol design and evaluation, experimental physicists using simulation for experiment plan validation, educators using simulators in the classroom, and students from all levels who are interested in the topic of quantum networking in general.

It has been a fundamental research thrust in computer science over the past century. In the current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era of quantum computing, there has been a proliferation of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms applied to AI and related tasks. This workshop aims to advance the state of quantum artificial intelligence (QAI) by highlighting recent research in the algorithms, applications, and software frameworks about quantum AI. We will invite QAI experts from academia, industry, and government research institutions to deliver talks to drive the QAI research forward. We also plan to have a keynote and a panel discussion related to critical topics in QAI. In doing so, we hope to promote the exchange of QAI research ideas, build a collaborative platform for QAI research, forge a community of QAI researchers, and outline a long-term research roadmap. We successfully organized this workshop at the IEEE QCE 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 and wish to do the same in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd1ff92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dd1ff92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> Q<span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">uantum machine learning, variational quantum circuits, quantum computing, artificial intelligence<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6daa5a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6daa5a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">The primary goal of this workshop is to foster discussions between domain scientists with large-scale applications and researchers who specialize in quantum computing.

A vital contribution to enable such an integration is the definition of a suitable intermediate representation, or representations, which are used to progressively translate and specialize application code to target different processors. A common representation and the creation of sharable compilation tools enable a performant and cohesive software infrastructure to build and leverage heterogenous quantum-classical systems to their fullest extent. With this workshop we aim to bring together experts across different areas of the hardware and software stack to discuss recent advances in quantum compilation and system architecture. We will highlight recent advances, future directions, and novel designs through a series of invited presentations on specific challenge topics from leaders in the field of quantum compilation and software. It is our hope that this workshop will spur collaboration and introduce the community to novel ideas, concepts and techniques that enable the creation of a cohesive and unified software toolchain for hybrid applications.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc6c4b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc6c4b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">Quantum compilation, quantum programming, quantum software, intermediate representation, quantum cloud, high-performance computing<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36991dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"36991dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">This workshop targets researchers specializing in quantum compilation, quantum architectures, or quantum software systems, developers working on software frameworks for quantum computing, as well as hardware manufacturers aiming to make their hardware widely accessible as part of a larger computing system or cloud offering.

As quantum processors continue to scale up in number of qubits, novel qubit implementations and processor architectures are also being investigated, each with their own control requirements. As such, classical control electronics systems have been expanding to meet the rapidly evolving needs of experimental QIS. Traditional manufacturers have introduced new products targeted at multi-qubit systems, new startups have joined the fray, and National Lab groups have developed, and open sourced, FPGA-based hardware, firmware, and gateware. As all providers of control systems continue to improve reliability and robustness of their solutions, theorists continue to propose experiments with heavier demands on control, ranging from active reset and fast feedback to mid-circuit measurement, feed-forward, and decision logic. Furthermore, directions undertaken by academia and industry could sometimes seem to be along orthogonal dimensions, one requiring diverse control parameters for novel qubits at small scale, the other focusing on one implementation but scaling up to systems larger by orders of magnitude. Following the well-attended past iterations of this workshop in 2022 and 2023, we aim to continue to bring together developers and users of control systems to provide a venue for discussion of the field\u2019s evolving needs, find pathways for meaningful convergence among different directions, and underscore and outline the outstanding challenges.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf3f571 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bf3f571\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> <span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Control Systems, Full-Stack, Codesign, Firmware, Hardware, Software<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d93af5d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d93af5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\"> \u2014 This workshop is targeted at engineers and experimental scientists from academia, industry, and National Labs, who develop or use control systems to run experiments on quantum processors.

The quest for novel and more powerful information processing methods \u2013 capable of tackling some of the hardest computational problems in the natural sciences \u2013 lies at the heart of the quantum computing revolution. As the technology progresses, what was originally only conceived in theory comes closer to becoming reality. The potential applications of quantum computing in the natural sciences are vast and varied, ranging from simulating complex chemical reactions and materials to modelling biological systems and developing new drug treatments. This full-day workshop on quantum computing for natural sciences is aimed at providing participants with a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in quantum information processing methods and their potential applications in fundamental physics, chemistry, materials and life sciences. Upon feedback from attendees of the first edition, we retained the workshop structure by dividing it into three sections, each devoted to a specific area, where experts in the respective fields will share their knowledge and provide talks on the current state-of-the-art and ongoing research efforts. The workshop aims also remain unvaried: to equip participants with a deeper understanding of the potential of quantum computing to revolutionize the natural sciences, highlighting the implications of this technology for future research and development efforts.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-767543b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"767543b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;, sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 1rem\"> <\/span><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;, sans-serif\">Quantum Computing, Quantum Simulators, Natural\nSciences, Quantum Chemistry, Fundamental Physics, Materials Science, Biology, Drug\nDiscovery<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73f5c62 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"73f5c62\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">The workshop has proven to attract a balanced audience made of quantum computing experts, with both academic and industry backgrounds, and domain experts in the natural sciences, with a key focus on computational approaches.

computing technology advances and qubit capacities continue to increase, it becomes crucial to leverage NISQ devices effectively and to develop NISQ algorithms that facilitate practical applications. Quantum chemistry is among the most promising fields for quantum computing, with numerous NISQ algorithms already devised for this purpose. When considering the application of these algorithms, key questions arise: Among the many NISQ algorithms published, which ones are considered state-of-the-art? How do we determine if modifications to an algorithm improve its performance? And which algorithm best suits a particular company&#8217;s needs? To address these questions, we initiated the QAGC last year. This year&#8217;s QAGC, running from February to the end of June, challenges participants to tackle problems using a 28-qubit system. During the workshop, we will begin by outlining the motivations behind the QAGC and the methods used to assess algorithm performance in a 90-minute session, which will also cover the evolution of the QAGC since its inception. Subsequently, we will feature presentations from the top three winning teams, with each team leading a 30-minute discussion on their innovative algorithms. The workshop will conclude with a celebration of the winners, a dialogue on future directions for the QAGC, and final remarks. Throughout the event, we aim to foster a dynamic dialogue with the audience about the criteria for evaluating applications and the performance of underlying algorithms.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e4f4df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3e4f4df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">Algorithms, Applications, Quantum Chemistry, Performance, NISQ, Collaboration<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c515d77 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c515d77\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;, sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;,sans-serif\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;,sans-serif\">Our workshop welcomes a\nwide range of attendees interested in quantum computing, from students to seasoned\nresearchers and developers in both academia and industry.

real-world problems. Many platforms have only\njust accomplished levels of performance and scale where classical simulation\nbecomes impossible in contrived settings, i.e. when cards are stacked as much\nas possible against a classical computer. Real world applications have\nstructure, and generally require quantum computers to pull back from doing\neverything possible to make classical simulation difficult: they must produce\nvery specific states, often with limited entanglement, often using many gates\nrelative to the amount of entanglement generated, and often with reasonably\nhigh fidelity. As an industry, we think it is important for researchers to\nconsider and think systematically and incrementally about what comes next for\napplications research considering how hardware is improving. As gates get\nbetter and access to more qubits, how can structure be incorporated to find\nproblems that are more difficult than random circuit sampling (from a hardware\nrequirements perspective) but start to look more like computational problems or\nreal physics simulations? This workshop will explore these questions in the\nrealm of three promising avenues for quantum computing applications as\nperformed on H-Series quantum computers: quantum dynamics, high energy physics,\nand quantum chemistry. The workshop will cover talks on recent work in these\nareas and end with a panel discussion exploring and discussing promising\navenues for applications.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f68178 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f68178\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> A<span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">pplications, real-world examples, H-Series, quantum dynamics, quantum chemistry, high energy physics<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b61a954 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b61a954\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">Workshop attendees are those interested in running or those who have run applications on quantum hardware, including both industry and researchers.

increasing interest in their potential impact on society, evidenced by the recent publication of many national strategies and quantum technologies programmes. In the wake of lessons learned from other emerging technologies such as AI, along with increased public scrutiny and societal expectation, there is a clear need for the responsible development and deployment of quantum computing, as well as a collaborative and timely approach. A number of quantum computing institutions are already engaging on this topic, including technology providers, national bodies, prominent research institutes, and technical fora. Recognising the importance attributed to responsible and ethical development and use of quantum computing, this workshop aims to further efforts, going beyond definition to explore novel contributions to the field and next steps towards operationalisation. In this workshop, we discuss associated questions. The first session discusses Operationalising Responsible Quantum Computing, covering efforts to put responsible quantum into practice. This facilitates the exchange of best practices and novel proposals, and the identification of needs relating to the impacts of integrating quantum technologies into society, as well as potential practices, frameworks, standards and regulatory tools for regulating their impact. The second session discusses Technical Aspects of Responsible Quantum Computing, including those relating to quantum machine learning, such as explainability; error correction; HPC integration, and environmental implications, such as energy efficiency. The final session will discuss Opportunities and Challenges for Responsible Quantum Initiatives and Research, and will facilitate the sharing of case studies and lessons learnt.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1efb82b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1efb82b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\"> Responsible quantum, societal impact, quantum computing<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 18px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83493ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"83493ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\"> \u2014 This workshop targets a wide cross-section of IEEE Quantum Week attendees.

both researchers and practitioners. IEEE defines Software Engineering as the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software, as well as to the study of these approaches. Thus, the Quantum Software Engineering community is gaining presence in all the relevant quantum computing research forums as a way to produce quantum software in a systematic and controlled way with adequate quality levels. This will ensure that quantum software progress along with the last advances in quantum computing. This event will serve as discussion forum on how to produce quantum software considering lessons learned from the classical software engineering field as well as novel approaches. This implies to apply or adapt the existing software engineering processes, methods, techniques, and principles for the development of quantum software, or even to create new methods and techniques that will help create quantum software with the appropriate quality attributes.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f4fca0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f4fca0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">Quantum Software Engineering, Quantum Software Engineering Technologies, Quantum Software Lifecycle<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d74e92d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d74e92d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">The target audience are both, researchers and practitioners coming from industry, that came up with innovative and significant advances or experiences in the field of Quantum Software Engineering and Technology; or those people that are interested on learning about this field.

While the quantum sector prepares for this transition into applicability, a parallel transition is happening in the world of energy, where large-scale, fossil-fuel-driven generation is facing increased environmental scrutiny and competition from small-scale renewables with rapidly-dropping prices. In this workshop, we will combine these two technological trends and provide a forum for discussion and interaction among academia, industry, and government actors with relevant interests. This workshop will include discussion of both quantum computing devices, ranging from annealers to NISQ devices to future digital quantum computers, as well as a description of some of the major computational challenges facing renewable energy today \u2013 simulation for chemistry and forecasting; the rise of distributed generation; and scheduling and dispatch of variable renewable resources. Our goal is to identify the most fruitful areas of collaboration and identify what types of research need to be done to advance the nexus of renewable energy and quantum computing. We welcome participants in quantum computing to learn about this exciting and vital area of application and participants in renewable energy to present computational challenges and learn about the opportunities quantum computers represent. This 5th workshop will continue the conversation that began at IEEE Quantum Week 2020 on quantum computing opportunities in renewable energy and climate

style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%\"> \u2014 Photons travel at the speed of light, enabling ultrafast operations in contrast to other quantum computing architectures. They can also carry quantum information over long distances as \u201cflying qubits\u201d, needed for a future quantum internet. Despite these inherent advantages, photon-based quantum computers are much less developed than other quantum computing architectures such as atomic ion traps and superconducting circuits. The key obstacle is efficient generation of non-classical states, such as squeezed or entangled states, with low photon loss. To circumvent this problem, state of the art experiments such as the photonic quantum sensor that increased Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory\u2019s (LIGO\u2019s) gravitational wave detection by 50% have used an optical table, with large bulk crystals of nonlinear materials to generate photon entanglement and free-space optical propagation to minimize photon loss. However, the optical table approach is a challenge for quantum sensing applications outside the controlled laboratory environment, and is not scalable to the large number of qubits required for a quantum computer with error correction. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;text-align: var(--text-align)\">The purpose of this workshop is to create a forum for scientists and engineers from diverse sectors of quantum photonics in academia and industry. Invited speakers will present their recent breakthroughs and strategies, and then will join a roundtable to answer questions from the moderator and audience. As a result, we hope the workshop will cross-fertilize different fields in order to accelerate the translation of quantum photonics from an optical table to a chip.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d447c7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d447c7c\"

compared to classic computer architectures for a range of suitable problems. They, therefore, have to ability to make significant contributions to the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC). On the other hand, quantum computing alone cannot achieve this goal as it requires current and future HPC systems to provide post- and pre-processing, to stage and control operations, to enable hybrid applications combining computational elements suited for quantum computing with such that are not, and to provide computing capabilities to optimize quantum computing systems. Consequently, we need a close integration between quantum computing and the current HPC ecosystems to form a new integrated HPC+QC approach capable of bringing the combined computational abilities to a broad user base.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;text-align: var(--text-align)\">In this workshop, we aim to bring together practitioners, theoreticians, and users from HPC, QC, and the application disciplines to understand the needs and requirements from both sides for such integration, report on and discuss innovative approaches and build a long-term bridge between the involved communities.

It refers to the process of quantifying the resources (time, qubits, magic states, etc.) required for performing a given quantum computation or task. It is essential to have an accurate understanding of resource requirements to analyze the tradeoffs between the benefit\/utility of performing quantum computations versus their cost. Costs can have wide-ranging impacts on investment decisions made by corporations, academia, research institutes, and governments. Building useful QRE tools and performing high-quality QRE research relies on strong connections among researchers with expertise in various subdomains of quantum computing. For example, algorithm developers benefit from realistic hardware assumptions rather than idealized models to direct their optimization; and hardware architecture design can be directed by requirements from algorithms analyzed to be most promising. After the success of the first edition of this workshop last year, this year we want to recreate a forum for sharing research and experience related to QRE issues, tools, and techniques with a stronger focus on applications of QRE. On top of the talks and panels discussion during the workshop, we also plan to organize a QRE-focused research challenge for students and young professionals prior to the conference and present the winning projects during the workshop.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aaaf889 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aaaf889\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">\u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">Quantum resource estimation, fault-tolerant computing &amp; error correction, application tools, quantum algorithms<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4f3ac8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d4f3ac8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">This workshop targets researchers and experts in the fields of quantum algorithms, compilation, hardware architecture, decoding and applications.

(CO) has surged, catalyzed by Farhi et al.&#8217;s seminal work in 2014, introducing the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). This workshop consists of various talks and panel discussions which aims to showcase recent advancements in this evolving field.\u00a0The workshop is divided into three sessions: Applications, Foundations, and Modified Algorithms. In the Applications session, speakers will present real-world cases where quantum algorithms have the potential to address CO problems across diverse domains. In the Foundations session, speakers will delve into the mathematical and theoretical aspects underlying quantum algorithms for CO. These foundational aspects provide insights into the potential usefulness and effectiveness of such quantum algorithms across various problems for both current and future quantum devices. Lastly, in the Modified Algorithms session, speakers will discuss innovative adaptations and enhancements of existing quantum algorithms and the effect of such modifications in regards to runtime, solution quality, etc.\u00a0Towards the end of each session, a panel discussion will take place with the speakers to discuss the current state of affairs and what the future holds for quantum&#8217;s applicability towards CO.

platforms came online, and alongside these\na common set of quantum software architectures and ideas has developed. For\nbetter or for worse, this stack is defined by certain dominant patterns:\nPython-based libraries, small loosely-structured programs, shared but\nrestrictive program representations (OpenQASM, QIR), online queues, wasteful\nexecution models (e.g., unnecessary repetition, client-server latency), and a\ncomputational separation between classical and quantum instructions. A number\nof these components will not scale, bottlenecking the performance of quantum\ncomputing overall.<\/span> &nbsp;<span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;,sans-serif\">Anticipating\nsuch limitations, a number of organizations have already been looking towards\nnew and novel ideas\u2014Quantum Software 2.0. In this emerging era, we can expect a\nmore complex and multi-faceted tech stack: deeper, wider, and more complex\ncircuits, first versions of quantum error correction, just-in-time compilation,\nmulti-level IRs, heterogeneous execution models, co-location, and making better\nuse of existing classical software tools. In this workshop, we highlight a\nnumber of software barriers that will have to be overcome in order to unlock\nthis next stage of development. We will hear from guest speakers, panelists,\nand attendees who have begun experimenting, prototyping, and releasing early\nversions of new quantum software technologies. We hope to identify and form\nconsensus about the most promising approaches to pursue in the future, as well\nas foster interest to develop these technologies collectively under open\nmodels, for the benefit of the quantum industry as a whole.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-87201e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"87201e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">Qaantum software, quantum programming, quantum representations, dynamic quantum circuits, just-in-time compilation, heterogeneous execution, co-location, MLIR, QIR<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec08d52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ec08d52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">We expect the workshop will be of interest to people working in industry (quantum software developers, quantum software architects, and senior leaders at software-focused companies), the quantum open-source software community, and researchers working in the field of quantum software (e.g., quantum compilation researchers).

However, trapped-ion systems now have a fraction of the number of qubits that superconducting and neutral atom quantum computers have demonstrated. Although higher qubit performance and increased interconnectivity of trapped-ions allow them to remain competitive in the form of higher quantum volume measurements beyond that of any other modality, further technological advances must be developed to increase qubit numbers. Technologies such as advanced shuttling techniques, integrated photonics and detectors, heterogeneous integration, and novel trap designs can all contribute towards scaling to greater number of qubits. This workshop will bring together leaders of the trapped-ion field to discuss state-of-the-art system capabilities and challenges, as well as identify ways to scale future systems.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-060b2a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"060b2a7\"

New algorithms have to be designed and existing ones adapted to start a virtuous cycle of value generated by applications driving quantum computing development and unlocking more value. Financial industry is one of the most promising application domains. This workshop will focus on algorithmic building blocks for leveraging quantum computers for financial applications, including both techniques with provable speedups as well as heuristical approaches.

As these devices integrate more and more into HPC facilities, these need to be characterized in the context of their integration with classical supercomputers and networks. The expectation of the utility of QPUs depends on their dependability, or the ability to operate reliably and securely under a variety of conditions and ensure reproducibility of their outcomes. Our workshop focuses on the need to develop new engineering principles that can define and guarantee dependability of classical quantum computing systems, and center on the development of metrics with predictive utility to estimate a priori the impact of design decisions: we believe it is possible to move into a more prescriptive classical-quantum co-design cycle rather than rely on purely experimental work. We seek to build an open research and development roadmap for dependable classical-quantum computer systems engineering with broad representation from academic, industrial and governmental participants involved in HPC, systems engineering, reliability engineering, quantum computing and other relevant disciplines. This workshop aims to build and solidify a diverse and inclusive community capable of identifying and anticipating technology and integration challenges between classical and quantum technologies to accelerate the maturation of the quantum computing technology ecosystem, and prevent design pitfalls which would otherwise need to be mitigated and addressed in hindsight.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a38c7f4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a38c7f4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;, sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> <span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;,sans-serif\">Hybrid Classical-Quantum systems, HPC, quantum\ncomputing, dependability, reliability, resiliency, security, reproducibility<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e001b6f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e001b6f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\"> \u2014 The target audience is individuals with expertise in classical dependability, fault-tolerant design, classical and quantum compilation, quantum computing technology manufacturing, quantum error mitigation\/suppression\/correction, quantum control and readout, large-scale system-level monitoring and orchestrating, HPC and quantum algorithm benchmarking, and hardware development.

However, accurately controlling these large quantum systems remains a fundamental challenge in the current NISQ era and a central task in the successful implementation of quantum-enhanced technologies. Analog control pulses provide the fundamental interface between the quantum compiler and the quantum hardware, and significant progress has been made in the development of computational tools to design control pulses that can realize desired operations with high fidelity. However, the implementation of optimal control techniques on physical quantum devices remains challenging due to numerous obstacles such as model-device discrepancies, high calibration cost, and control hardware limitations. As quantum systems continue to grow in size and complexity, it is essential that we continue to develop and improve optimal control techniques together with modern calibration methods to fully harness their potential.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 12pt;text-align: var(--text-align)\">This is the second time the workshop would take place. While in 2023 (WKS05) the focus lay on the design of scalable numerical methods for optimal control and hardware characterization, in this year&#8217;s iteration special emphasis is placed on applications of optimal control and its interplay with calibration of quantum devices. Researchers from diverse backgrounds will come together to discuss state-of-the-art optimal control methods and their implementation in different quantum technologies. It provides a platform to develop and foster collaborations amongst different research groups, discuss current challenges and potential solutions, and present new methodologies and applications. During a mix of invited talks and discussion panels, theoretical, numerical, and experimental advances will be presented and analyzed.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3136a94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3136a94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Keywords \u2014<\/span><\/b> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif\">Quantum optimal control, pulse engineering, data-driven optimization, hardware calibration, pulse-level control<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-178aa23 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"178aa23\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif;color: #333333\"><b style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, 'Noto Sans', sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol', 'Noto Color Emoji';font-size: 1rem\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align);font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif\">The workshop will be of interest to a wide audience, bringing together researchers in physics, control theory and application, dynamical systems, stochastics and machine learning.

As of now, the field is entering the era of early FTQC, where the fault-tolerance building blocks are being developed and deployed on small-scale systems. Industry and academia have demonstrated significant progress with an increasing number of qubits \u2013up to 40 logical qubits encoded in 280 neutral-atoms qubits. However, beyond the scalability hurdles of current NISQ devices, FTQC has the added complexities of real-time decoding and fault-tolerant compilation. In particular, the decoder has to run on an extremely tight schedule (e.g., microsecond timescale for superconducting qubits) and be flexible to deal with a continuous stream -or merging streams- of syndrome data. Furthermore, as the system grows, so does the amount of data to be processed and moved through multiple layers of the control stack.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;font-size: 12pt;text-align: var(--text-align)\">This workshop will discuss the stage of the early FTQC era and the major challenges to move beyond. While enormous progress has been demonstrated in the last couple of years at the level of a single logical qubit, we will discuss the hurdles expected while scaling up to larger codes and systems. We will cover the multidisciplinary challenges of FTQC and real-time decoding, at the level of algorithms, computational resources and classical control. We want to foster a dialogue between FTQC experts, from code designers to system engineers and computer scientists, to create a shared understanding of the next milestones towards demonstrating control of fault-tolerant devices at scale.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-375b780 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"375b780\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%\"><b>Keywords <\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%\">\u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;line-height: 107%\">Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing, Real-Time Decoding, Quantum, Error Correction, Qubit Control, Quantum Control Stack<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f943566 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f943566\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;line-height: 107%;, sans-serif\">Target Audience<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;,sans-serif\"> \u2014<\/span> <span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:107%;,sans-serif\">The workshop is aimed at\nall those involved in bringing fault-tolerant devices to fruition. The target\naudience for this workshop is two-fold and we believe that this is one of the key\nelements that will make this workshop successful. On the one hand, we expect\nattendance from quantum engineers, QEC theorists to experimentalists that are\ndeveloping fault tolerance in their labs. We want to encourage attendance from\nacross the quantum computing stack, as well as from varied qubit technologies. On\nthe other hand, we aim to attract researchers who have a more classical\nbackground in computing architectures, computer science and control hardware\nengineering, and who have already, or are developing, an interest in\ncontributing to the field of quantum computing. This latter group showed a\nsurprisingly large attendance at last year\u2019s workshops and we expect their\ncontinued interest based on positive feedback we received. Finally, the\nworkshop targets both experts from academia and industry as fault tolerance is\nentering the R&amp;D roadmaps in both sectors.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\"
