2nd Chemical Applications of Quantum Computing

With the success of the 1st edition of the workshop, we are pleased to announce the second edition of the Chemical Applications of Quantum Computing workshop, to be held in Montreal, Canada, as part of the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE24). We reiterate our intent for this workshop to be a long-lasting venue for community engagement and collaborations focusing on the state-of-the-art and future of quantum computing as a driving force behind research and development in chemistry.

More details regarding the 2024 edition of the workshop are forthcoming.
