Overview

CQIQC-IX will be the ninth in the series of (mostly) biennial conferences jointly organized by the Toronto Centre for Quantum Information & Quantum Control and the Fields Institute, which bring together researchers from all aspects of Quantum Information Science & Technology, ranging from quantum algorithms and computing architectures to the foundations of quantum information, to quantum networks, to device fabrication and characterization.

It will take place in person (circumstances permitting) at the Fields Institute in Toronto, from August 29th through September 2nd, 2022.  All participants are encouraged to make every effort to attend for the full week if possible, so as to maximize the opportunities for interaction.

The CQIQC meetings are designed to spur interactions between these different sub-fields. The conference will involve a mix of invited and contributed talks, and posters. There will be roughly 24 35-minute invited talks and roughly 28 20-minute contributed talks, which will be selected from what we expect (based on past experience) to be a large pool of truly ground-breaking work from around the world. There will also be ample opportunity for in-depth discussion. The meeting will involve researchers at all stages of their careers from both academia and industry.
