Call for papers

The workshop will focus on discussions within its thematic scope of quantum computing and quantum information theory. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: quantum sensing, quantum materials science, quantum hardware and architectures, quantum error correction, quantum cryptography and quantum communication, quantum algorithms, quantum optimization, quantum AI, quantum bioinformatics and other relevant experimental and theoretical topics. Submissions including non-finished ideas to raise discussion are possible and indeed welcomed. In addition, well-crafted presentations and tutorials on specific topics can be accepted as contributions.

Authors are cordially welcome to send their contributions to Zornitza Prodanoff (email: zprodano@unf.edu) in pdf format. All contributions will be peer-reviewed. An author of an accepted contribution is assumed to present the contribution orally at the workshop, either on-site or online.

The workshop will not publish a proceedings volume. A special issue based on the workshop is to be organized in Natural Computing. Accepted workshop papers will be invited to an accelerated review process for Natural Computing.
