Drs. Travis Humble (Oak Ridge National Laboratory) and Himanshu Thapliyal (University of Kentucky) have released a call for papers to participate in the upcoming International Workshop on Quantum Computing: Circuits Systems Automation and Applications (QC-CSAA). The workshop is taking place July 6-8, 2020 in Limassol, Cyprus, and in conjunction IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI).
“ISVLSI 2020 explores emerging trends and novel ideas and concepts in the area of VLSI. The symposium covers a range of topics: from VLSI circuits, systems and design methods to system-level design and system-on-chip issues, to bringing VLSI experience to new areas and technologies such as security, artificial intelligence and cyber-physical systems. The symposium will also emphasize future design methodologies and new CAD tools to support them as key topics. Over three decades ISVLSI has been a unique forum promoting multidisciplinary research and new visionary approaches in the area of VLSI, bringing together leading scientists and researchers from academia and industry. The ISVLSI proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.”
The submission deadline is March 13th and the full call can be found below:
CALL FOR PAPERS: 1st International Workshop on Quantum Computing: Circuits Systems Automation and Applications (QC-CSAA)
In conjunction with the IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI
Limassol, Cyprus, July 6-8, 2020
http://www.eng.ucy.ac.cy/theocharides/isvlsi20/quantum.html
Authors are invited to submit papers for “1st International Workshop on Quantum Computing: Circuits Systems Automation and Applications (QC-CSAA)” in conjunction with the IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI, July 6-8, 2020. Workshop papers will provide a comprehensive review on fundamentals as well as the current state of the art in research and technology. The purpose of this workshop is to explore design paradigms of quantum computing including developing a full stack from quantum algorithms to quantum chip. Advances in quantum computing hardware, software, and algorithms as well as contributions on the transformative research needed to guide quantum computing performance toward practical and sustainable operations will be aligned with the goal of this workshop. Further, circuits and systems targeting novel and existing applications of quantum computing to fields such as quantum chemistry, linear algebra, scientific applications, aerospace, material science, cryptography, machine learning, etc. will be of special interest.
Topics of interest for this workshop include but are not limited to the following:
• Progress in quantum architectures, circuits, design automation and programming languages
• Circuits and systems targeting novel and existing applications of quantum computing
• Resource consumption estimates for quantum computing systems and applications
• System codesign that prioritizes sustainable and efficient platform operation
• Metrics and benchmarks for quantifying quantum computing performance
• Performance estimates of quantum and hybrid computations
• Resource-efficient methods for the control and execution of quantum programs
Submission Procedure:
Authors are invited to submit unpublished 2-page extended abstract or maximum 6-page regular paper. Previously published papers or papers under review for other conferences/journals should not be submitted for consideration. Please use IEEE conference-style template. All accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, which will be published in IEEE Xplore as part of the ISVLSI proceedings. A selected set of papers from the workshop will be invited for submission to a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal based on reviewer’s feedback and quality of conference presentation.
