AQMCSE focuses on the journey behind applied quantum methods: the ideas, experiments, failures and lessons learned that turn quantum computing into real-world applications.
What is AQMCSE?
Unlike many other quantum conferences where the focus is on presenting results and roadmaps, the AQMCSE conference series stands out by putting the journey – how those results were achieved and what can be learned from the process – in the spotlight.
At AQMCSE, we explicitly invite contributions on tips, tricks and innovations, but also on failures and negative results. The goal is a vibrant community of quantum practitioners dedicated to creating practical and implementable quantum applications for real-world problems.
AQMCSE 2026 continues the tradition of bringing together the quantum industry, academia and computational sciences to focus on applied quantum computing that delivers value across disciplines, including computational fluid dynamics, structural analysis, optimization, materials science, machine learning and cryptography.
- Applied quantum algorithms and hybrid workflows
- Benchmarking quantum vs. classical methods
- Non-orthodox, creative uses of quantum devices
- Lessons learned from real-world case studies
- Dialogue between practitioners and hardware providers
AQMCSE provides a four-day platform for genuine knowledge exchange between end users and technology providers.
Conference format
AQMCSE 2026 offers a programme designed for in-depth technical exchange and structured networking:

- Social events for informal discussion and networking
Who should attend?
AQMCSE 2026 offers something for every participant, depending on their background and goals:
Share the behind-the-scenes process of how you've achieved your results. AQMCSE is a place to exchange ideas, challenges, negative results and hybrid classical–quantum approaches.
Discover how quantum computing can address real-world problems in your field, from optimization and logistics to finance and materials science, and how it may fit into your strategy.
Engage with the applied side of quantum computing. See how theoretical work is translated into practical use cases and explore interdisciplinary opportunities with engineering and industry partners.
Learn firsthand what practitioners are trying to accomplish with your devices. Understand real usage patterns and gather feedback for your development roadmap.
Join the pre-conference masterclass to get an immersion into the basics of quantum computing, meet professionals and learn how to turn early ideas into practical solutions.
Ideal for organisations wishing to build or expand an in-house quantum applications team. Explore talent, tools and success stories to shape your quantum strategy.
