The conference will celebrate and aim to strengthen the quantum information science community in Canada and beyond, by bringing together leading Canadian researchers as well as members of the broader quantum community. The program will highlight the fundamental advances being made in quantum information theory and how these advances lead to applications.
We will also be hosting a poster session on Tuesday, October 7 at IQC. Poster submissions are welcome and will be reviewed by the program committee. Some posters may be selected to present as a contributed talk.
Conference topics
- Quantum metrology
- Quantum simulation and quantum advantage
- Quantum error-correction and fault tolerance
- Quantum complexity and algorithms
- Quantum communication and networks
- Quantum cryptography
- Quantum information in quantum matter and quantum gravityÂ
Participation is open to all scientists who are interested in the conference topics.Ìý
