About the Conference

Following the E-Learning African International School on Quantum Science and Technology (ELAIS-QST 2024), the African International Conference on Quantum Algorithms for Simulation <AoC|Q> will gather leading experts, scientists, researchers and students from across Africa in different fields such as materials science, physics, chemistry, engineering and others to explore cutting-edge quantum algorithms and their applications in simulating complex systems. This 7-day event will feature a rich program of opening ceremony, keynote presentations, roundtable discussions, interactive workshop series with lectures, tutorials or hands-on, outreach to senior high schools in Kumasi, and poster sessions, each designed to delve into various aspects of classical-quantum algorithms of complex systems.

Scope and Focus

The undoubted significance of materials in all aspects of life (healthcare, infrastructure, energy production and storage, communication, transportation and others) requires finding novel, sustainable, affordable, efficient and optimal ways of incorporating state-of-the-art technologies. In recent times, the unique qualities of a decade-old "Quantum Theory" or "Quantum Mechanics" as an emergent revolutionizing cutting-edge field are employed for advanced technology and innovation.
