IEEE Symposium on Quantum Software: Towards  Quantum Utility in the NISQ Era (QSWUtil)

As quantum computing advances, led by an industry that keeps pushing the boundaries of quantum hardware, the concept of quantum supremacy is losing the spotlight. Instead, the more mundane, but much more relevant topic, for both industry and academia, of Quantum Utility is gaining interest. In this context, we understand Quantum Utility as the progress made in using today’s or soon to become available quantum computers to solve application problems and prove scalability of these solutions for real-world data loads.

This QSWUtility Symposium, organized alongside the IEEE International Conference on Quantum Software, will focus on reporting and discussing recent advances in Quantum Utility achieved by both, industry and research institutions. By addressing these topics, the symposium will provide a platform to meet with other Quantum Software researchers and practitioners involved in Quantum utility.

The QSWUtility Symposium will be held for one day with invited talks, panels, and paper presentations. Invited speakers will include prominent industry leaders and relevant researchers. Accepted invited papers will be published in the Proceedings of the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Software.
