Launched in August 2022, the Quantum Energy Initiative is fostering a worldwide community of experts willing to develop scientific approaches to evaluating and minimizing the physical resource costs of emerging quantum technologies. This requires the synergy of a broad range of expertises, from fundamental quantum physics to enabling technologies, from hardware to software, from research to industry.

TOPICS OF THE WORKSHOP – Research on energy or other resources in the following contexts:

• Fundamental quantum devices: Energy, entropy or resources at the fundamental quantum level, quantum gates, generation and preparation of quantum resources, interconnect quantum functionalities.
• Quantum hardware and enabling technologies: Macroscopic energy and entropy for quantum devices, implementations of cooling systems, control electronics, energy aware full-stack computers etc.
• Quantum algorithms and software: NISQ or large-scale quantum computing, quantum communication protocols, resource optimization, error correction, compilation etc.
• Hybrid HPC-quantum, reservoir computing, etc: High-performance computing (HPC) in hybrid with quantum technologies. Reservoir and Neuromorphic computing. Classical computing inspired by quantum algorithms. Other technologies that are hybrids of quantum and classical, etc.
• Classical computing & classical information thermodynamics: resources in classical computing,  fundamental bounds on classical information processing, etc.
