The 2nd International Conference on Cryptography and Information Security (VCRIS 2025)
VCRIS is an international conference annually focused on Cryptography and Information Security. In 2025, in addition to its core topics, VCRIS 2025 will have a new theme on quantum science and technology as part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) 2025. The conference aims to provide a platform for exchanging and sharing the latest research in the fields of cryptography, information security, and quantum science and technology. It also offers an opportunity for the publication and dissemination of cutting-edge research through reputable international publishers (IEEE Xplore). As part of the conference, the Quantum Autumn School contributes to raising awareness among scientists, professionals, lecturers, and students about the significance of quantum science and its applications.
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).
Revolución Cuántica
El Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Calkiní (ITESCAM) propone organizar un ciclo de conferencias de dos días, del 3 al 4 de abril de 2025. El título del evento es “Revolución Cuántica: Ciencia, Tecnología y Futuro”. Este evento está diseñado para ser mayoritariamente divulgativo, con el objetivo de hacer accesibles los conceptos de la ciencia y la tecnología cuántica a toda la comunidad, independientemente de su formación en física.
Las actividades incluirán charlas que abordarán temas como la computación cuántica, las aplicaciones médicas de la tecnología cuántica y su impacto en la vida cotidiana, aplicaciones en energías renovables y nanomateriales. Los contenidos se presentarán de manera sencilla y comprensible, utilizando ejemplos prácticos y evitando tecnicismos, para asegurar que todos los asistentes puedan comprender y apreciar la relevancia de estos avances.
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.
