QML @ WCCI-IJCNN-2024, Yokohama, Japan

Introduction

The landscape of quantum computing has seen remarkable strides, progressing from its inception in the 1980s to tangible hardware prototypes in the 2020s, capable of managing hundreds of qubits. Amidst these advancements, the potential ascendancy of Noisy-Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices over classical computers has sparked considerable interest, notably through algorithms like the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE). These algorithms, operating within limited qubits while resilient to noise, blend classical machine learning with Variational Quantum Circuits (VQC), birthing Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs) deployed in diverse models from image classification to natural language processing and reinforcement learning. This Special Session seeks to delve deeply into VQC-based and other potential Quantum Machine Learning (QML) algorithms, aiming to redefine the frontiers of this field and explore their myriad applications across machine learning and artificial intelligence. We invite submissions encompassing fundamental training algorithms, privacy-preserving or trustworthy QML, distributed QML and a spectrum of applications spanning scientific discovery to commercial and industrial domains. Join us in shaping the future of quantum-driven machine learning and its vast applications.
