IEEE Quantum Week 2026

IEEE Quantum Week (QCE26) is the IEEE Computer Society's flagship quantum computing and engineering conference, expected to draw more than 2,100 participants after 1,750+ the prior year. The 2026 edition runs nine technical paper tracks spanning algorithms, quantum machine learning, photonics, hardware and software engineering, alongside 10 keynotes, 46 workshops, 48 tutorials, 372 technical papers and 22 panels. It pairs the research programme with an exhibition floor, a Canadian Quantum Village, a career fair and the co-located QSEEC26 education conference. For quantum founders it is the densest single place to meet hardware groups, national-lab teams and corporate quantum programmes, with explicit emphasis on translating research into commercial systems.
