Funding for quantum computing has traditionally originated from
diverse programs across multiple agencies, often within
multi-disciplinary contexts led by physicists. However, initiatives
spearheaded by computer scientists and computer engineers remain
limited despite a surge in academic and industry demand for expertise
on the computing side of quantum technology. A focused program led by
computer scientists and engineers is essential to advance quantum
algorithms, architectures, communication, systems, software, and
compilers – ultimately creating a much-needed quantum computing
workforce.
We are organizing a planning workshop with leading senior and junior
quantum computing researchers to address this and shape future quantum
programs. This workshop will produce a comprehensive report outlining
open problems in
Call for participation
We invite established and aspiring quantum computing researchers and
select participants from quantum application domains to participate in
a one-day workshop. The workshop will focus on identifying open
quantum problems and strategies for workforce development. Discussions
and written summaries will form a comprehensive report on these
critical areas. The format will alternate between plenary sessions,
ensuring a unified vision, and breakout sessions for in-depth
exploration of diverse subareas.
