Scope and Topics
The Quantum AI 2026 conference on the Indiana University campus in Indianapolis, IN, USA focuses on three aspects of Quantum Computing and Quantum-inspired approaches to computing:
These topics bring together researchers from quantum computing, quantum information theory, AI, natural language processing, and quantum-inspired formalisms in cognitive science and psychology, as well as applied disciplines that utilize quantum computing and quantum AI solutions, such as Medical Research, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, or Cybersecurity. We aim to bring together researchers from different disciplines to facilitate knowledge transfer and synergies in these domains. We encourage researchers from academia, industry, and government research to submit their theoretical, experimental, or applied contributions to this conference.
See the conference page for list of keynote speakers, panels, and related events.
Location
- Indiana University Indianapolis, Campus Center

Call for Participation: Quantum AI Conference 2026
Update
The Quantum AI Conference 2026 on the IU Indianapolis campus, August 14th-16th 2026, has an updated website with the list of talks, posters, keynotes, and panels.
Students who might be interested in submitting a poster presentation can do this now. The instructions are on the page https://qnlp.ai/authors.html (Deadline August 9th!)
We have an excellent lineup of national and international keynote speakers, including colleagues from the Cleveland Clinic, the Mayo Clinic, Quantinuum, covering topics like scanning of brain signals for Quantum-AI-based intend detection related to the motion of limbs (Mayo clini), protein folding models using quantum computing, and drug discovery (Cleveland Clinic, Quantinuum), but also theortetical aspects of quantum inspired modeling in cognition, language, and AI, as well as AI models for quantum computing, AIs for the generation of quantum circuits, and quantum computing for AI.
The list of accepted talks and posters is available here: https://qnlp.ai/speakers.html
Please join us, encourage students and colleagues to do so, too, and register at: https://qnlp.ai/registration.html
