Call for Papers:

Topics:

The scope of the Quantum Machine Learning workshop at CONF-MPCS 2024 is broad and interdisciplinary, encompassing theoretical foundations, algorithmic developments, and practical applications of quantum machine learning. Besides, we also invite submission of papers focusing on all aspects of Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics, Algorithm, Simulation, Machine Learning, and Quantum Computing, ranging from theoretical analysis to practical research. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Quantum Computing
  • Machine Learning
  • Quantum Algorithms
  • Computational Simulation
  • Data Analysis
  • Quantum Bits (Qubits)
  • Algorithmic Developments
  • Interdisciplinary Research
  • Theoretical Foundations
  • Practical Applications

Goal/Rationale:

The primary goal of the Quantum Machine Learning workshop at CONF-MPCS 2024 is to foster a deep understanding of how quantum computing principles can be synergistically combined with machine learning to drive forward the frontiers of computational simulation and data analysis. It aims to demystify the complex nature of quantum algorithms and their potential applications in machine learning, providing a platform for participants to explore the latest advancements and research findings in the field.

The workshop is designed to catalyze collaboration among researchers, industry professionals, and academics, encouraging the exchange of ideas and fostering partnerships that could lead to groundbreaking innovations in quantum machine learning. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with expert speakers, partake in hands-on sessions, and discuss the practical challenges and opportunities in implementing quantum-enhanced algorithms.

Ultimately, the workshop aspires to inspire attendees to contribute to the evolution of quantum machine learning, equipping them with the knowledge and connections to apply quantum computing concepts to complex problem-solving in their respective domains.

Submission:

Prospective authors are kindly invited to submit full papers that include title, abstract, introduction, tables, figures, conclusion and references. It is unnecessary to submit an abstract in advance. Please submit your papers in English.

Title: Quantum Machine Learning: Bridging Quantum Physics and Computational Simulations

Date: October 10th, 2024 (UTC -5)

Venue: Illinois Institute of Technology, 10 W 35th St, Chicago, IL 60616

How to Participate:

Poster

The workshop provides an opportunity for poster exhibition. Authors who are interested in presenting a poster, please submit your materials (prefer in .pdf) to [email protected] before October 10, 2024.

Detailed information on your presentation date and time will be confirmed closer to the workshop. If you have any questions about your presentation or the workshop, please email [email protected].

Poster Presentation Guidelines

  1. Poster presentations must be prepared using the template provided:
    *Poster layout template for poster presentation (download)
    *Poster layout background (download)
  2. Posters should generally be in A1 size (width: 594mm x height: 841mm) and include the followings:

    Title, author and co-author names, and the affiliation(s) information.

    Body parts, including "Abstract", "Introduction", "Methods", "Results", "Discussion" and "Conclusions".

  3. Presenters are suggested to set the font size properly and avoid placing anything at the margin part of the poster as it will be difficult to view.
  4. Posters should be well illustrated. All the pictures used should be high quality and with high resolution.

(You can refer to the instructions for more detailed information. Additional presentation guidelines may be announced by workshop committees.)

Attend in person

If you want to attend the workshop on-site, please email [email protected]. The workshop seats are limited. Both contributors and non-contributors who wish to participate in the workshop in person need to apply to the workshop organizers.

VISA:

U.S. Visas (state.gov)

In order to ensure the information is correct and up to date, there may be changes which we are not aware of. And different countries have different rules for the visa application. It is always a good idea to check the latest regulations in your country. This page just gives some general information of the visa application.

US Visa Information

The B-1/B-2 visitor visa is for people traveling to the United States temporarily for business (B-1) or for pleasure or medical treatment (B-2). Generally, the B-1 visa is for travelers consulting with business associates; attending scientific, educational, professional, or business conventions/conferences; settling an estate; or negotiating contracts. The B-2 visa is for travel that is recreational in nature, including tourism; visits with friends or relatives; medical treatment; and activities of a fraternal, social, or service nature. Often, the B-1 and B-2 visas are combined and issued as one visa: the B-1/B-2.

Application Items

If you apply for a business/tourist visa, you must pay your $160 application fee and submit the following:

  • A Nonimmigrant Visa Electronic Application (DS-160) Form. Visit the DS-160 web page for more information about the DS-160.
  • A passport valid for travel to the United States with a validity date at least six months beyond your intended period of stay in the United States (unless country-specific agreements provide exemptions). If more than one person is included in your passport, each person desiring a visa must submit an application.
  • One (1) 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) photograph taken within the last six months.
  • If a visa is issued, there may be an additional visa issuance reciprocity fee, depending on your nationality.

Supporting Documents

  • Invitation letter from business or school.
  • Detailed CV or resume including a list of publications.
  • Complete itinerary, including all meetings, conferences, and visits; include names, addresses, and telephone numbers of your hosts.
  • For other materials, please refer to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate website.

NOTICE:

Should your application be denied, the organizing committee cannot change the decision of visa officer, nor will CONF-MPCS engage in discussion or correspondence with the visa application center on behalf of the applicant. The registration fee CANNOT be refunded when the VISA application of individual being denied.

My scientific studies have afforded me great gratification; and I am convinced that it will not be long before the whole world acknowledges the results of my work.
