The 1st Annual Conference on Quantum Simulation (QSim, https://qsimconference.org/) will be held in Telluride, Colorado, USA, August 7-11, 2023. The conference will be preceded by a 3-day summer school on experimental and theoretical aspects of quantum simulation in the same location.

The conference is sponsored by the NSF QLCI for Robust Quantum Simulation (https://rqs.umd.edu) and will bring together physicists, engineers, chemists, materials scientists, mathematicians, and computer scientists working at the forefront of quantum simulation and related problems that include applications, algorithms, verification, noise, scaling, etc. for both analog and digital approaches. A special session midweek will be devoted to charting the future of the field.

The invited speakers represent expertise at the forefront of quantum simulation, including Waseem Bakr (Princeton), Daniel Barredo (Institut d’Optique), Earl Campbell (Riverlane), Eugene Demler (ETH Zürich), Sofia Economou (Virginia Tech), Manuel Endres (Caltech), Jens Koch (Northwestern), Joonho Lee (Harvard), Lin Lin (UC Berkeley), Mikhail Lukin* (Harvard), Zlatko Minev (IBM), Chris Monroe (Duke), Ashley Montanaro (Bristol), Hannes Pichler* (Innsbruck), Pedram Roushan (Google), Giulia Semeghini (Harvard), Michelle Simmons (UNSW), Yu Tong (Caltech), Romain Vasseur (UMass Amherst), Nathan Wiebe (Toronto), Jon Wyrick (NIST), and Torsten Zache (Innsbruck).

In addition to the invited talks, there will be 10 contributed talks and 2 poster sessions. More details can be found at the website (https://qsimconference.org/).
