Research Tracks
Explore the diverse areas of quantum technologies and computer science covered at ICQST 2027. Submissions should align with one of the primary tracks below.
Track 1: Quantum Algorithms & Complexity
Chaired by Dr. Sarah Chen, MIT Quantum Lab
This track explores the design, analysis, and implementation of novel quantum algorithms. We welcome research on quantum advantage, error correction methodologies, and hybrid quantum-classical optimization techniques.
Track 2: Quantum Architecture & Hardware
Chaired by Prof. James K. Fowler, Oxford University
Focuses on the physical realization of quantum computers. Topics range from foundational qubit design (superconducting, trapped ion, topological) to scalable processor architectures and cryogenic control systems.
Track 3: Quantum Security & Cryptography
Chaired by Dr. Elena Rostova, CERN
Addresses the profound impact of quantum computing on modern cryptography. We seek papers on post-quantum cryptographic primitives, quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols, and quantum-safe network architectures.
Track 4: Quantum-Classical Integration
Chaired by Dr. Kenji Tanaka, Tokyo Institute of Technology
Dedicated to the software and systems engineering required to bridge quantum processors with classical HPC infrastructure. Includes compiler design, intermediate representations, and cloud APIs.
Track 5: Quantum Sensing & Metrology
Chaired by Prof. Alice Williams, Stanford University
Explores the use of quantum states to achieve unprecedented precision in measurement. Applications include medical imaging, environmental monitoring, and fundamental physics tests.
Track 6: Quantum Optics & Photonics
Chaired by Dr. Marcus Weber, Max Planck Institute
Investigates the generation, manipulation, and detection of non-classical light. This track covers continuous-variable quantum computing, integrated quantum photonics, and single-photon sources.
