The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) is set to host the prestigious International Conference on Quantum Communication, Measurement & Computing (QCMC 2024) from 26 to 30 August 2024. This marks the 16th edition of the conference and the first time it will be held in India. The event is being coordinated by the Center For Quantum Information, Communication And Computing (CQuICC), a Centre of Excellence at IIT Madras, and will take place at the IIT Madras Research Park. The conference is proudly sponsored by IIT Madras, Mphasis F1 Foundation, and KLA.
QCMC, established in 1990, is a renowned global platform that brings together scientists and engineers in the field of quantum information science and technology. It serves as a hub for experts to share advancements in quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum cryptography, and quantum sensing. This year’s conference aims to foster collaboration between physicists, computer scientists, and engineers in the quantum field, translating research into practical applications, particularly in secure communication and advanced computing. It also seeks to facilitate international partnerships to address global challenges.
IIT Madras, through CQuICC, is at the forefront of advancing India’s quantum frontier with cutting-edge research in quantum cryptography, quantum sensing, quantum information theory, and quantum networks. The institution plays a pivotal role in India’s National Quantum Mission, contributing to the development of indigenous quantum technologies. The QCMC 2024 will feature discussions ranging from foundational quantum theory to cutting-edge quantum technology applications.
The conference will showcase 18 invited talks from top global experts in quantum science and technologies, including luminaries such as Prof. Andreas Walraff from ETH Zurich, Prof. Mark Wilde from Cornell University, Prof. Urbasi Sinha from Raman Research Institute, and Prof. Karol Zyczkowski from the Polish Academy of Sciences. Additionally, special industry-academia sessions, 20 contributed talks, and over 100 poster presentations by early-career researchers are on the agenda.
