The 2nd Physical & Mathematical Sciences Summit——Quantum Artificial Intelligence
About the conference
The MDPI (China) Physical & Mathematical Sciences Committee was officially established in 2024, with Professor Chang-Pu Sun, an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, serving as its Chairman. The Committee is dedicated to providing scientific strategic guidance and advice to MDPI and promoting cooperation and academic exchanges with the scholarly community. The first MDPI Summit on Physical and Mathematical Sciences was successfully held in 2024, and the second summit will focus on the cutting-edge interdisciplinary field of quantum computing combined with artificial intelligence (AI), while further expanding academic discussions.
As the core of next-generation computing technology, quantum computing is developing rapidly and is expected to trigger a new round of quantum technological revolution. Its integration with AI has given rise to entirely new fields. Quantum circuit models and the quantisation of classical algorithms can efficiently process large-scale data, demonstrating broad application prospects in various sectors, including production, daily life, and economic development. At this summit, we will conduct in-depth discussions—through keynote speeches and oral presentations—on the integration of quantum computing with machine learning algorithms, the application of quantum computing in AI, and the technical challenges and development trends faced by quantum artificial intelligence.
