Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 2nd Annual Conference on Quantum Simulation (QSim), which will be held in Rhode Island, USA, from Monday, August 12 to Friday, August 16, 2024. The conference will be preceded by a 3-day Summer school for students and postdocs at the same location. The focus of the summer school will be on many-body systems, combining both theoretical and numerical techniques with examples from quantum hardware experiments.

The conference is sponsored by the NSF QLCI for Robust Quantum Simulation (https://rqs.umd.edu) and the University of Rhode Island (https://web.uri.edu/physics/quantum/). QSim will bring together physicists, engineers, 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. Our invited speakers represent expertise at the forefront of quantum simulation, including Andrew Baczewski (Sandia National Laboratories), Immanuel Bloch (Ludwig-Maximilians University), Dolev Bluvstein (Harvard University), Anthony Chen (Caltech), Stefanie Czischek (University of Ottawa), Eugene Demler (Harvard University), Di Fang (Duke University), András Gilyén (Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics), Aram Harrow (MIT), Robert Huang (Google Quantum AI), William Huggins (Google Quantum AI), Abhinav Kandala (IBM), Xiao Mi (Google Quantum AI), Mario Motta (IBM), Guido Pagano (Rice University), Federica Surace (Caltech), Tingrei Tan (University of Sydney), Ruben Verresen (Harvard University), and more!

In addition to the invited talks, there will be more than 15 contributed talks and two poster sessions. We welcome submissions for contributed talks and posters. The early-bird registration deadline is June 10, 2024. Learn more about the deadlines and register today at https://qsimconference.org/register/.

We are excited to welcome you to the conference in the Summer. Please feel free to share this announcement with your colleagues to help us spread the word about the event.

Sincerely,
Michael Gullans (on behalf of the organizers)
