In celebration of the UN’s International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), and to celebrate research achievements and scientific-technological partnerships, we are holding the Amazonian Quantum Computing and Communication Workshop (AQCCWo) 2025. This workshop will bring together researchers, students, and industry representatives to explore the advances and challenges of quantum technologies, with a focus on quantum computing and communication. The event aims to promote the exchange of ideas, disseminate scientific research results, strengthen collaboration between academia and the productive sector, and discuss strategies for developing innovative solutions that will propel the Amazon region into the global scientific and technological landscape. More than just a space for lectures and debates, this workshop is an opportunity to build bridges, attract new stakeholders, and welcome a community dedicated to transforming the future through quantum science and technology. Promoted by the Quantum Computing and Science and Technology subgroup of the ALGOX Group (Algorithms, Optimization, and Computational Intelligence) of the Federal University of Amazonas’ Institute of Computing (IComp/UFAM), and part of UFAM’s National Science and Technology Week, SECTICE, with the following partners: Military Engineering Institute (IME) and SiSDIA – DCT/EB.
May this be the first of many!
