CALL FOR PAPERS
QC+AI @ AAAI-2025
First International Workshop on Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence
39th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, March 3, 2025
Paper Submission Deadline: November 24, 2024
Scope
-----
Quantum computers, albeit on a small scale, are becoming more accessible to the
public, e.g., through IBM, Google, and D-Wave. Naturally, this calls for
exploiting quantum computers to enhance classical Artificial Intelligence
(AI), e.g., to improve their prediction performance or enable faster training
by exploiting quantum mechanical principles such as superposition and
entanglement. To this end, there is a growing interest in quantum artificial
intelligence (QAI) to exploit quantum computing (QC) to enhance classical AI
techniques. This workshop focuses on seeking contributions encompassing
theoretical and applied advances in QAI.
On the other hand, there is also an increasing interest in the application of
classical AI techniques for solving problems within QC (AI4QC), such as in
quantum software engineering, quantum circuit design, and optimizing quantum
optimization approaches (e.g., minor embedding in quantum annealing).
Consequently, we also seek contributions that apply classical AI techniques in
various aspects of QC.
Many AI problems can be cast as optimization problems, and we also welcome
contributions formulating AI problems as optimization tasks, e.g., Quadratic
Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) to be solved by quantum annealers.
Topics
------
* Theoretical foundations of quantum AI algorithms
* Quantum AI applications in any domain, e.g., transportation, chemistry,
simulations, physics, etc.
* Classical AI techniques in the area of quantum circuit design, such as
optimizing quantum circuit compilation and transpilation
* Quantum noise reduction with classical AI techniques
* Classical AI techniques for quantum software engineering, including quantum
software testing, debugging, and repair
* Applications of large-language models for quantum circuit design and quantum
software engineering
* Quantum AI techniques for quantum software engineering
* Classical AI techniques for optimizing quantum search and optimization
algorithms such as QAOA
* Quantum annealing and its applications
* QUBO models of AI problems
* Novel quantum machine learning algorithms such as theory and applications of
quantum reservoir computing and quantum extreme learning machines
Format of Workshop
------------------
It will be a one-day workshop. We plan to have an invited keynote speaker, paper
