AI for Circuit Synthesis, Optimization, and Discovery – IEEE Quantum Week Workshop

This workshop is part of IEEE Quantum Week 2026, 13 – 18 September, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The objective of this workshop is to facilitate dissemination and exchange between scholars and practitioners on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to address some fundamental tasks of gate-based quantum computing: Circuit Synthesis, Circuit Optimization, and Circuit Discovery.

We invite research submissions exploring the synergy between Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Circuit design. We specifically seek contributions making use of Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning to address circuit synthesis, hardware-aware optimization, and automated ansatz discovery. The application of AI-based approaches in circuit synthesis, optimization, and discovery is key to overcoming physical limitations of current devices and moving towards the practical “quantum utility” era.

Call for papers deadline: July 9, 2026
