Subject: Announcing "Assessing Performance of Quantum Computers" (APQC)
workshop; Sep. 25-27, 2019
To: Blume-Kohout, Robin J <rjblume(a)sandia.gov>
Dear Colleague,
I am writing to enthusiastically announce the first (hopefully annual)
workshop on *Assessing Performance of Quantum Computers
<https://qpl.sandia.gov/APQC/index.html>* (APQC). APQC will be a 3-day
workshop, held on September 25-27, 2019, at the Ridgeline Hotel in Estes
Park, Colorado. The workshop will focus on approaches, techniques, and
theories for assessing the quality and performance of quantum computational
hardware. The goal of APQC is to bring together experts in all the fields
that are essential to performance assessment – including QCVV, quantum
algorithms, quantum supremacy, error correction, and experimental quantum
hardware – to stimulate advances in the emerging field of quantum
performance assessment. The main focus of APQC is expected to be the
performance of digital (gate- or circuit-model) quantum computing devices,
but connections to other architectures and models, including annealing and
analog, are welcome.
We invite all interested participants to apply to participate and submit a
contributed talk (if desired) – at <
https://qpl.sandia.gov/APQC/APQC_registration.html>gt;. Space and funding
restrictions will limit participation to at most 70 participants.
Applications received by August 16, 2019 will be guaranteed full
consideration, and further applications received until September 8 *may* be
considered if space permits. There will be a $250/person registration fee
for accepted applicants. A discounted lodging rate at the Ridgeline Hotel
*and* most meals will be provided.
Confirmed invited speakers include:
- Sergio Boixo (Google)
- Joseph Emerson (Quantum Benchmark / U. Waterloo)
- Steve Flammia (U. Sydney)
- David McKay (IBM)
- Adriaan Rol (T.U. Delft)
- Kevin Young (Sandia)
We expect the program to include approximately 16 contributed talks, in
addition to ~8 invited talks. For more information, see <
https://qpl.sandia.gov/APQC/index.html>gt;.
APQC is being organized by Sandia’s Quantum Performance Lab (QPL)
<https://qpl.sandia.gov/>, and the University of New Mexico’s Center for
Quantum Information and Quantum Control (CQUIC) <https://cquic.unm.edu/>,
with support from the National Science Foundation.
I would be very grateful if you would share this announcement with
interested colleagues (including students and postdocs!), and forward it to
anyone you believe would be interested.
Sincerely,
Robin Blume-Kohout (on behalf of the Quantum Performance Lab)
