IIT Madras Hosts International Quantum Tech Leaders at QCMC 2024 in India
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) is hosting the prestigious International Conference on Quantum Communication, Measurement & Computing (QCMC 2024) from August 26 to 30. Marking its 16th edition, this is the first time the conference is being held in India. The event is organized by the Center For Quantum Information, Communication And Computing (CQuICC), a Centre of Excellence at IIT Madras, and is taking place at the IIT Madras Research Park. The conference is supported by sponsors including IIT Madras, Mphasis F1 Foundation, and KLA.
QCMC, established in 1990, is a renowned global forum that brings together scientists and engineers in the interdisciplinary field of quantum information science and technology. It serves as a platform for experts worldwide to discuss advancements in quantum computing, communication, cryptography, and sensing. With this event, IIT Madras continues to push the boundaries of quantum research, contributing significantly to India’s National Quantum Mission, which aims to develop indigenous quantum technologies.
The QCMC 2024 aims to facilitate collaboration among physicists, computer scientists, and engineers, translating quantum research into real-world applications, particularly in secure communication and advanced computing. The event will also encourage international partnerships to tackle global challenges in the quantum domain.
The conference program features 18 invited talks by leading global experts, including Prof. Andreas Walraff (ETH Zurich), Prof. Mark Wilde (Cornell University), Prof. Urbasi Sinha (Raman Research Institute), and Prof. Karol Zyczkowski (Polish Academy of Sciences). In addition, there will be special industry-academia sessions, 20 contributed talks, and over 100 poster presentations by early-career researchers.
By hosting QCMC 2024, IIT Madras solidifies its role as a key player in advancing quantum technologies and fostering international collaboration in this rapidly evolving field.
