2025 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (Quantum Week)

IEEE Quantum Week — the IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE) — bridges the gap between the science of quantum computing and the development of the industry surrounding it. This event brings a perspective to the quantum industry that differs from strictly academic or business conferences.

IEEE Quantum Week is a multidisciplinary venue that gives attendees the unique chance to discuss challenges and opportunities with quantum researchers, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, developers, students, practitioners, educators, programmers, and newcomers.

The 13th Annual International Hackathon for Social Good (April 25 – 27, 2025)

This year, the NYUAD Hackathon is focusing on one of the most transformative technologies of our time: Quantum Computing (QC), along with the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advancing QC, while addressing the challenges outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We are proud to take part in the global celebration activities of the UN’s declaration of 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ).

NITheCS & CoRE AI Masterclass

Abstract

This Masterclass offers an accessible exploration into the world of quantum computing, focusing on the qubit—the fundamental unit of quantum information. In this class, we demystify core quantum concepts such as superposition, interference, and measurement through hands-on demonstrations that can be performed with just one qubit. Designed for a diverse audience including computer scientists, mathematicians, and curious minds alike, the course illustrates how a single qubit can generate true randomness, secure data using quantum cryptography, and even implement simple algorithms. Join us to discover how understanding one qubit opens the door to the revolutionary possibilities of quantum technology.

Biography

Francesco Petruccione is a physicist and professor with a career spanning quantum science, computational thinking, and artificial intelligence. After earning his PhD and habilitation from the University of Freiburg, he joined the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, where he held the South African Research Chair in Quantum Information Processing and served as Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Big Data and Informatics. Now Director of the National Institute for Theoretical and Computational Sciences and a Professor of Quantum Computing at Stellenbosch University, he co-leads the Africa Europe Cluster of Research Excellence in AI and Data Science for global challenges. Prof Petruccione has authored over 250 scientific papers and landmark texts, including ‘The Theory of Open Quantum Systems and Machine Learning with Quantum Computers’. His contributions have earned him accolades such as the Stella d’Italia honour and fellowship in leading academies, reflecting his impact on science and education worldwide.

Quantum Book Club

A series of events to learn about the scientists who were the main contributors to the development of quantum mechanics through reading and discussing Thirty Years that Shook Physics: The Story of Quantum Theory by George Gamow. The club meets on Thursdays (March 6, 20, and 27 and April 3, 10, 17, and 24).

From Classical to Quantum Measurement Systems – IYQ

The event “From Classical to Quantum Measurement Systems” recognizes classical and quantum technology for different applications in measurement technology, including optical sensing and metrology, bioimaging and optogenetics, multimode fiber amplifier, high-speed data transmission, quantum sensing with undetected light, quantum computing, 6G-quantum communication, entangled photons for fiber communication.

Quantum Talks 2025

The first Quantum Talks 2025 will be a day of workshops and panels for discussions on Quantum Technologies and recent advances in the quantum computing industry. The event will have speakers from different areas, including researchers, professionals, developers, and startups in quantum technologies, including cyber, AI, optimization, hardware, and software.

The event will be realized in hybrid mode, from the auditorium of Microsoft Reactor in São Paulo, Brazil, with an audience of 80 people and online attendees.
