Workshop on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum Technologies
 
This year, the TQC conference will be followed by a two-day workshop on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) Technologies. The workshop will bring together top experts on the subject of near-term quantum computation and provide a platform for the wider research community to engage in discussions about the near-term applications of quantum computers.

Over the past few years a number of interesting connections have emerged at the interface between computational complexity theory and high energy physics. This workshop will bring together experts in this emerging field. Some of the connections that we hope to explore at this workshop include:

This small, five-day workshop will focus on QMA(2) and the tools, techniques and open questions related to this complexity class. In particular, we think this class provides an interesting lens through which to examine the power of entanglement. We will focus not only on upper and lower bounds but also on related topics (quantum de Finetti theorems, semidefinite programming hierarchies, etc). We will have a small number of talks by world experts in the field, with plenty of free time to encourage collaboration.

This is the "kickoff workshop" for a new Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS) at the University of Maryland. The purpose of the workshop is to initiate collaborations between researchers at QuICS and elsewhere, and to solicit ideas about research and activities that the QuICS center may pursue. For more information, see the workshop website.

The Workshop on the Frontiers of Quantum Information and Computer Science is a five-day workshop at the University of Maryland that brings together leading experts from around the world to share and discuss recent advances at the frontiers of quantum information and computer science.
