Special Issue on ``Quantum Software: Theory and Practice” Journal: Quantum Machine Intelligence (Springer) Guest Editors: Alessandra Di Pierro and Margherita Zorzi Submission Deadline: June 30, 2018 Further Information: alessandra.dipierro AT univr.it ————————————————————————————— Quantum Machine Intelligence Special Issue on Quantum Software: Theory and Practice ————————————————————————————— Thanks to the progress in experimental quantum computing, devices that scale up to 50-100 qubits will be available in the near future, which might be able to perform tasks beyond the capabilities of today’s classical computers. Such devices already allow us to execute quantum algorithms on quite significant inputs. To help the implementation task, much effort has been recently devoted to the design of quantum programming languages offering higher level functionalities than just a quantum analog of assembly languages. The development of quantum software is therefore becoming a first-class scientific challenge that involves all stages of the quantum toolchain from quantum hardware interfaces through quantum compilers to the implementations of quantum algorithms by means of various quantum computing paradigms such as the QRAM based model, quantum annealing, and the discrete and continuous variable gate-mode. This special issue will collect original results on recent advances in the development of Quantum Software. Topics covered are: - Quantum Language Design and Implementation - Quantum Software Verification - Quantum Computing Platforms - Quantum Programming for Machine Learning - Quantum annealing - D-Wave Higher-Order Programming Articles must be submitted through the QUMI Editorial System (http://www.editorialmanager.com/qumi/) When submitting your paper, please select the Section/Category `Quantum Software' so as to make sure that your paper is assigned to the the special issue guest editors. Please see the Instructions for Authors on the site if you have not yet submitted a paper through this web-based system. The deadline for submission is June 30, 2019. We look forward to receiving your contribution. The Guest Editors, Alessandra Di Pierro Margherita Zorzi
