The past decade has witnessed radical advances in quantum computing and related quantum technologies – with the offerings of prototype quantum processors capable of handling 20 qubits (and more qubits to come) by multiple commercial entities, the realization of quantum advantage has steadily moved on towards engineered reality. These near-term quantum computers promise exciting applications ranging from designing exotic novel materials to discovering new drugs, and have made quantum computing and quantum machine learning extremely exciting and vibrant research fields.
The International Workshop on Quantum Computing, Information Processing and Machine Learning (IWQCIPML) will be held at the National Taiwan University (Taipei, Taiwan) during December 2-4, 2019. The Workshop aims to bring together world-leading academic researchers and experts to exchange and share their experiences in the fields of quantum computing, quantum information, artificial intelligence, and quantum machine learning. It also aims to provide a premier interdisciplinary platform for practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent discoveries, trends, and opportunities, as well as challenges and practical solutions in the fields. To this end, mini-school lectures on key concepts and aspects in quantum computing and quantum machine learning will be organized in the first day of the Workshop, followed by a two-full-day program of oral presentations and a poster session. We are confident that this International Workshop will be a significant step to advance our understandings and skills towards these forefront research fields.
