The workshop on quantum computing and communication will address pioneering topics crucial for the progression of quantum technologies. It aims to facilitate the transition from theoretical exploration to practical applications of quantum devices and algorithms. Focusing on integrating quantum technologies with IoT and communication systems, the workshop will explore secure and efficient networks, quantum optimization, hybrid quantum-classical computing, and the development of quantum communication networks. Emerging topics such as quantum cryptography, quantum algorithms for IoT, and quantum machine learning will also be covered. This workshop provides a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, academics, industry professionals, and students to network, showcase research, and inspire future innovations in quantum computing and communications.

This workshop is co-located with the 10th IEEE World Forum on Internet of Things (IEEE WFIoT2024), which will be hosted at the prestigious Westin Ottawa in Ottawa, Canada.
