Quantum AI 2026 Conference
Scope and Topics
The Quantum AI 2026 conference on the Indiana University campus in Indianapolis, IN, USA focuses on three aspects of Quantum Computing and Quantum-inspired approaches to computing:
These topics bring together researchers from quantum computing, quantum information theory, AI, natural language processing, and quantum-inspired formalisms in cognitive science and psychology, as well as applied disciplines that utilize quantum computing and quantum AI solutions, such as Medical Research, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, or Cybersecurity. We aim to bring together researchers from different disciplines to facilitate knowledge transfer and synergies in these domains. We encourage researchers from academia, industry, and government research to submit their theoretical, experimental, or applied contributions to this conference.
