IEEE Quantum Week 2026 to Unveil the Latest in Quantum Computing
By IEEE Computer Society on
Conference to deliver the newest engineering research and commercial applications
With quantum computing’s expanding research and commercial applications, IEEE Quantum Week 2026, the IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE), will showcase the latest scientific, technical, and engineering advances, shaping the future of the field. Now in its seventh year, IEEE Quantum Week serves as the premier event for quantum professionals, researchers, educators, and others to learn, engage and build the future of quantum technology.
"Building on the momentum of last year’s record-breaking 13% growth in participation, IEEE Quantum Week 2026 serves as a defining opportunity to showcase the latest developments in quantum computing and engineering,” said Quantum Week 2026 General Chair Hausi Müller, professor, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. “For instance, as the IEEE Computer Society’s 2026 Technology Predictions highlight, the convergence of quantum, HPC, and AI has moved from a 'one to watch' to a force with the immediate ability to disrupt the status quo. This year marks an inflection point for the field in this and other areas.”
Taking place 13 - 18 September in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, IEEE Quantum Week 2026 will provide an unmatched environment for computer scientists and engineers, featuring more than 600 hours of content, collaboration opportunities, and innovative demonstrations that showcase the latest breakthroughs and reveal the applied strategies that are currently transforming global industries. Through a robust program of keynotes, workshops, exhibits, technical sessions, and more, the conference will introduce new advancements and real-world applications that are fundamentally redefining and driving global transformation.
