Call for Papers

Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging interdisciplinary research area that integrates concepts from mathematics, physics, and engineering. For scientific rigor and successful progress in the field, it demands contributions from various STEM areas.

In this context, we are pleased to announce the International Conference on Emergent and Quantum Technologies (ICEQT’23), to be held on July 24-27, 2023, in Las Vegas, NV. The conference aims to provide an opportunity for researchers in the field of quantum machine learning and machine learning researchers interested in applying AI to enhance quantum computing algorithms, to present and discuss recent advancements in their areas of expertise.

Notably, there has been an increasing interest from machine learning researchers to apply AI to the quantum computing domain, and vice versa. As a result, we cordially invite submissions of original research papers that present state-of-the-art contributions in the following areas:

Foundations of Quantum Computing and Quantum Machine Learning

• Quantum computing models and paradigms, e.g., Grover, Shor, and others
• Quantum algorithms for Linear Systems of Equations
• Quantum Tensor Networks and their Applications in QML

Quantum Machine Learning Algorithms

• Quantum Neural Networks
• Quantum Hidden Markov Models
• Quantum PCA
• Quantum SVM
• Quantum Autoencoders
• Quantum Transfer Learning
• Quantum Boltzmann machines
• Theory of Quantum-enhanced Machine Learning

AI for Quantum Computing

• Machine learning for improved quantum algorithm performance
• Machine learning for quantum control
• Machine learning for building better quantum hardware

Quantum Algorithms and Applications

• Quantum computing: models and paradigms
• Quantum algorithms for hyperparameter tuning (Quantum computing for AutoML)
• Quantum-enhanced Reinforcement Learning
• Quantum Annealing
• Quantum Sampling
• Applications of Quantum Machine Learning

Fairness and Ethics in Quantum Machine Learning

We look forward to receiving your submissions and to welcoming you to ICEQT’23.

Submit Paper

Guidelines for authors

• Title of the paper
• Name, affiliation, postal address, and email address of each author (identify the name of the Contact Author). For Science Citation Indexation (SCI) inclusion processes, we prefer that the Contact Authors to provide email addresses that can be traced (ie, SCI requires that the Contact Authors be positively identified.)
• Abstract (between 100 and 120 words)
• A maximum of 6 topical keywords that would best represent the work described in the paper (It would be more helpful to provide topical keywords that do not appear in the Title of the paper, if possible.)
• Write the type of the submission as "Regular Research Paper", "Short Research Paper", or "Extended Abstract/Poster Paper".
• The actual text of the paper can start from the first page (space permitting).

IMPORTANT DATES:

• April 12, 2023June 10, 2023 (extended): Submission of papers
• May 1, 2023: Notification of acceptance (+/- two days)
• May 16, 2023: Final papers + Registration
• June 21, 2023: Last day for hotel room reservation at a discounted price
• July 24-27, 2023: The 2023 World Congress in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Applied Computing (CSCE'23: USA); Including all affiliated federated/joint conferences https://american-cse.org/csce2023/

Type of Submissions/Papers:

• Full/Regular Research Papers (maximum of 8 pages): Regular Research Papers should provide detail original research contributions. They must report new research results that represent a contribution to the field; sufficient details and support for the results and conclusions should also be provided. The work presented in regular papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity that with some additional work can be published as journal papers.
• Short Research Papers (maximum of 5 pages): Short Research Papers report on ongoing research projects. They should provide overall research methodologies with some results. The work presented in short papers are expected to be at a stage of maturity that with some additional work can be published as regular papers.
• Extended Abstract/Poster Papers (maximum of 3 pages): Poster papers report on ongoing research projects that are still in their infancy (i.e., at very early stages). Such papers tend to provide research methodologies without yet concrete results.

Each paper will be peer-reviewed by two experts in the field for originality, significance, clarity, impact, and soundness. In cases of contradictory recommendations, a member of the conference program committee would be charged to make the final decision (accept/reject); often, this would involve seeking help from additional referees. Papers whose authors include a member of the conference program committee will be evaluated using the double-blinded review process. (Essay/philosophical papers will not be refereed but may be considered for discussion/panels).

Best papers may be invited to write extended versions to our journal Special Issue "Advances in Quantum Machine Learning and Quantum Information".
