The exciting QCE20 conference programfeatures over 270 hours of programming. Each day the QCE20 conference, also known as IEEE Quantum Week, will virtually deliver 9-10 parallel tracks ofworld-class keynotes, workforce-building tutorials, community-building workshops, technical paper presentations, innovative posters, and thought-provoking panels through a digital combination of pre-recorded and live-streamed sessions. Attendees will be able to participate in live Q&A sessions with keynote speakers and panelists, paper and poster authors, as well as tutorial and workshop speakers. Birds of a Feather, Networking, and Beautiful Coloradosessions spice up the program between technical sessions. The recorded QCE20 sessions will be available for on-demand until November 30.

"With our expansive technical program and lineup of incredible presentations from thought-leaders all over the globe, this is shaping up to be the quantum event of the year," said Hausi Mller, QCE20 General Chair, IEEE Quantum Initiative Co-Chair. "I encourage all professionals and enthusiasts to become a quantum computing champion by engaging and participating in the inaugural IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing & Engineering (QCE20)."

Workshops and tutorials will be conducted according to their pre-determined schedule in a live, virtual format. The QCE20 tutorials program features 16 tutorials by leading experts aimed squarely at workforce development and training considerations, and 21 QCE20 workshopsprovide forums for group discussions on topics in quantum research, practice, education, and applications.

Ten outstanding keynote speakers will address quantum computing and engineering topics at the beginning and at the end of each conference day, providing insights to stimulate discussion for the networking sessions and exhibits.

QCE20 panel sessionswill explore various perspectives of quantum topics, including quantum education and training, quantum hardware and software, quantum engineering challenges, fault-tolerant quantum computers, quantum error correction, quantum intermediate language representation, hardware-software co-design, and hybrid quantum-classical computing platforms. Visit Enabling and Growing the Quantum Industryto view the newest addition to the lineup.

Over 20 QCE20 exhibitors and sponsors including Platinum sponsors IBM, Microsoft, and Honeywell, and Gold sponsors Quantropi and Zapatawill be featured Monday through Friday in virtual exhibit rooms offering numerous opportunities for networking.

QCE20 is co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Photonics Society, IEEE Council on Superconductivity,IEEE Electronics Packaging Society, IEEE Future Directions Quantum Initiative, and IEEETechnology and Engineering Management Society.
