About IEEE QSW 2022
Quantum computing is one of the latest fundamental advances in computation. Quantum computers can solve problems that are classically intractable or solve problems with higher precision, respectively. Software that makes use of quantum computers is referred to as quantum software. To gain experience with quantum software, it is important to allow users to access this technology, to continue research, and perform experiments with this technology. With this in mind, we observe that over the last years cloud-based access to quantum computers as well as associated services appeared.
There are a lot of challenges about how to create and use this next generation of software and services that take advantage of quantum computers, especially how we are going to combine them with classical infrastructures and services, or how we are going to integrate quantum software in our business processes and production pipelines.
Questions like these are the motivation for this international conference on Quantum Software of IEEE Computer Society. It will allow researchers and practitioners from industry and academia to discuss what should be the next steps in this emerging field.
