QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

Following the successful series of events on quantum machine learning organized in South Africa, the aim of this workshop is to go one step further and gather experts and interested colleagues in interdisciplinary research areas: from classical machine learning to quantum machine learning and quantum artificial intelligence, from theoretical developments to experimental groups in quantum technologies, as well as from memristive systems to quantum memristors and neural networks. Our goal is to enhance the sharing of ideas and the discussion of how to implement these novel ideas in current quantum platforms. We would also like to explore the latest advances on quantum algorithms applied to quantum machine learning, and the use of classical machine learning algorithms, such as genetic algorithms or autoencoders, to facilitate quantum tasks. We also intend to tap the potential of bio-inspired quantum technologies, such as quantum memristors or quantum artificial intelligence, in order to develop and implement the aforementioned algorithms. We think it is time to approach the impressive theoretical developments in these fields with cutting-edge experiments in a variety of quantum technologies and explore the questions and motivations which prompt the investment in quantum technologies and, particularly, quantum machine learning, of companies coming from different fields.

• The major experts in quantum machine learning to discuss the last advances in this exponentially growing field.
• Experts in classical machine learning, who can share their experience and motivate the community to address new problems.
• Experimentalists in different quantum platforms to maximise the exchange of realistic ideas actually implementable with in short- and middle-term.
• Companies from different industrial sectors with interest in quantum technologies, so they can share their motivations and inspire the community to work in useful questions.
