The Workshop on Quantum in Consumer Technology (QCT) at IEEE Quantum Week 2022 was an enlightening event, bringing together experts from a variety of fields to discuss the current state and future potential of quantum technology in consumer applications.
The 2nd Workshop on Quantum in Consumer Technology, held during the IEEE Quantum Week 2023, continued to explore the integration and application of quantum technologies in consumer electronics. Organized by the Quantum in Consumer Technology Technical Committee (QCT TC) of the IEEE Consumer Technology Society (CTSoc), this year's workshop featured two insightful panels discussing the cutting-edge advancements and applications of quantum technologies that aim to revolutionize consumer products and services.
The Workshop on Quantum in Consumer Technology at IEEE Quantum Week 2024 was an inspiring event that united experts from diverse fields to explore the present advancements and future possibilities of quantum technology in consumer applications. Organized by the Quantum in Consumer Technology Technical Committee of the IEEE Consumer Technology Society (CTSoc), this workshop focused on the integration and application of quantum technologies in consumer electronics, exploring current innovations and future directions; see CTSoc representatives in Figure 1(a). This workshop was part of the IEEE Quantum Week 2024, officially known as the IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE24), which was held in the Palais des Congrès in Montréal, Québec, Canada, from 15 to 20 September, 2024.
IEEE Quantum Week 2022 Workshops provide forums for group discussions (i.e., 20-50 participants) on QCE22 topics in quantum research, practice, education, and applications.Workshops provide opportunities for researchers, practitioners, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, developers, students, educators, programmers, and newcomers to exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas at an early stage before they have matured to warrant a conference or journal publication.In this manner, an IEEE Quantum Week workshop serves as a forum for common interests or as an incubator for a scientific community to form a research roadmap or share a research agenda.Workshops are the key to sustaining, growing, and evolving IEEE Quantum Week in the future.For the first time, the QCE22 program includes a colocated conference, the Quantum Science and Engineering Conference, where education researchers and practitioners come together to discuss methodologies for curriculum and tool development for instruction and teaching.We expect this to become an annual event, emphasizing the importance of education in building a broad and diverse quantum community and workforce.xlvii
The inaugural IEEE Quantum Week hosts a week-long program of 21 workshops that emphasizes the breadth and depth of the burgeoning quantum engineering community. The workshop program has been developed to capture the diversity of topics that represents the field of quantum engineering and its many impacts on quantum information science. This series includes events focused on the development and demonstration of quantum hardware, software, algorithms, and applications as well as the growth and management of the quantum workforce and global quantum ecosystem. These workshops provide accessible opportunities for researchers, practitioners, scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, developers, students, educators, programmers, and newcomers to exchange and discuss scientific and engineering ideas at an early stage before they have matured to warrant a conference or journal publication. In this manner, the IEEE Quantum Week Workshop program serves as an incubator for a scientific community to form a research roadmap or share a research agenda. Workshops are the key to sustaining, growing and evolving IEEE Quantum Week in the future.
