Quantum computers, albeit on a small scale, are becoming more accessible to the public, e.g., through IBM, Google, and D-Wave. Naturally, this calls for exploiting quantum computers to enhance classical Artificial Intelligence (AI), e.g., to improve their prediction performance or enable faster training by exploiting quantum mechanical principles such as superposition and entanglement. To this end, there is a growing interest in quantum artificial intelligence (QAI) to exploit quantum computing (QC) to enhance classical AI techniques. This workshop focuses on seeking contributions encompassing theoretical and applied advances in QAI.
On the other hand, there is also an increasing interest in the application of classical AI techniques for solving problems within QC (AI4QC), such as in quantum software engineering, quantum circuit design, and optimizing quantum optimization approaches (e.g., minor embedding in quantum annealing). Consequently, we also seek contributions that apply classical AI techniques in various aspects of QC.
