31 Jul '20

Dear Q-Turners, The Call For Submissions of Q-turn 2020 has been extended. The new deadline is the 7th August! (Anywhere on Earth) We welcome theoretical and experimental work covering all areas in quantum information, computation, technology, and foundations. Q-Turn is a quantum information workshop & network, promoting diversity, equity, labour rights, and responsible research in quantum science and q-tech. Applying is easy, please visit our workshop website www.q-turn.org. There you can find information on its scope, as well as a list of confirmed invited speakers. Q-turn would like to encourage participation from people all over the world, and so the conference schedule will be split into sessions that accommodate different time-zones in the world. This will allow us to have speakers participate at a reasonable time. In addition, Q-turn 2020 (Nov 23-27) will be a registration-fee-free online event. We look forward having a great science event in November! Stay safe and best wishes, The Q-Turn organizers Website: www.q-turn.org Mailing list: https://lists.oeaw.ac.at/mailman/listinfo/q-turn Twitter: https://twitter.com/QTurnWorkshop Facebook: https://facebook.com/QTurnWorkshop/ YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCh9NC6b8CvzfEqIrxL78v5A LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/11807357/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/qturnworkshop/ [image: image.png]

A series of invited and contributed talks will highlight recent novel results in the field to motivate discussions on open questions and future directions on the computational reach of quantum algorithms. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic the workshop will happen as an *online virtual event*. List of Topics The scope of the workshop includes, but is not limited to, current hot topics in the field: · Quantum algorithms for optimisation and machine learning · Quantum random walks, oracular and algebraic algorithms · Experimental implementations of algorithms on small-scale quantum computers · Limitations and computational power of hybrid quantum-classical algorithms · Quantum advantage proposals and explorations of quantum speed-ups · Circuit complexity · Protocols for characterisation and mitigation of errors in quantum devices · Verification and benchmarking of quantum computations Invited Speakers · *Aram Harrow, *Center for Theoretical Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology · *Laura Mancinska, *QMATH, Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Submission Guidelines The main purpose of the workshop is to exchange recent ideas and research areas related to quantum algorithms. Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of 1-2 pages. It should clearly describe the main ideas and results and, if available, refer to the accompanying paper or preprint. In case of a positive evaluation, submissions are accepted either as oral or poster presentation to be part of the workshop program. The workshop has no formal proceedings. Please submit your papers on Easychair https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qualg20. Note that QuAlg20 forms part of a week-long sequence of workshops on quantum computing; see https://quantumweek2020.cambridgequantum.com/
