The IEEE International Conference on Quantum Software (IEEE QSW 2026) is the premier venue dedicated to establishing quantum software as a rigorous engineering and scientific discipline. QSW focuses on the methods, abstractions, languages, tools, systems, and theories required to design, build, analyze, deploy, and evolve quantum and hybrid quantum-classical software systems.
Unlike physics- or hardware-centric venues, QSW emphasizes software-level contributions: programming models, languages, compilers, runtimes, validation & verification techniques, system architectures, lifecycle methodologies, and reproducible software artifacts. The conference explicitly targets the gap between quantum algorithms and operational quantum systems.
QSW welcomes contributions from academia and industry that demonstrate technical depth, explicit assumptions, and clear software relevance.<\/p>
