APQC 2025 Application

CO landscape

Applications for APQC 2025 are now being accepted.

APQC is limited to at most 85 participants, due to space and funding constraints.  All participants except invited speakers must request a spot by applying using the form below. If more than 85 applications are received, the organizing committee will select participants based on scientific accomplishments and promise. Early-career scientists (graduate students and postdocs) are encouraged to apply, and will be given special consideration.

A conference fee of $300 will be required at registration (after acceptance of your application).  

Deadlines:  Full consideration will be given to applications received by August 1, 2025.  Later applications may be considered if space permits. No applications received after August 15, 2025 will be considered. Hotel booking information will be provided upon acceptance of your application. The room block is available until September 1, 2025.

Submitting a talk:  Contributed talks are the backbone of the workshop; we expect to accept at least 16 contributed talks and roughly 8 invited talks about recent high-profile developments in the field. This year at APQC, we are excited to feature a special session on QCVV for Logical Qubits. In recent years, numerous high-profile demonstrations of quantum error correction have emerged in the literature. As the development of methods for characterizing logical qubits becomes increasingly important, we invite submissions that showcase this vital work. We encourage all applicants who have new and relevant research results to submit an abstract for a contributed talk. However, the schedule will not permit every participant to give a talk, and applications that do not propose a contributed talk will not be penalized (they will be given full consideration).

Posters:  If we can’t make space for your submission as a talk, we encourage you to present it as a poster. If you don’t want to submit a talk at all, we encourage you to request space for a poster about your research. Posters will be hung throughout the workshop, and if enough posters are presented, there will be a short dedicated poster session.

Registration:  Successful applicants will be directed to a registration page where the conference fee ($300) can be paid before the beginning of the workshop.
