A Quantum Emulation 2024 meeting will be held at the British Library in London on April 24, 2024. It will be co-sponsored by Quantum Motion and the UK National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). This is a one-day event in London aimed at people who develop, use, or would like to use software that emulates quantum computers. The plan is to stream the key talks, but much of the event is focused on exploring the systems and so requires in-person participation. This meeting will focus on full-state emulation and the tools and techniques that enable that. As quantum hardware increases in complexity, the challenge of designing useful algorithms for these machines comes into focus and the prospects for techniques like error mitigation and quantum error correction become clear. Key details such as the precise nature of noise and imperfections in quantum machines, as well as their speeds and topologies become apparent for a range of platforms. Against this evolving landscape it is more interesting than ever to have software, running on conventional non-quantum devices, that can closely emulate the early quantum systems. In this way researchers can test our ideas against a variety of architectures, topologies, gate sets and noise models. Moreover they can create full Virtual Quantum Devices (VQDs) and test them to inform the best direction for experimental developments.

Quantum.Tech USA will be held on April 24-26, 2024 at the Conrad Hotel in Washington, D.C.
