WERQSHOP

Workshop on Error Resilience
in Quantum computing

📅 July 17-18, 2025 | 📍 New York University, NYC 🗽

Bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners to advance error resilience in quantum computing.

Topics

  • New quantum error mitigation (QEM) techniques
  • QEM feasibility/scaling
  • Open source QEM software
  • QEM performance
  • QEM in the early fault tolerant era
  • Error resilience

About the Workshop

This workshop will bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners working on all aspects of Quantum Error Mitigation (QEM) and error resilient compilation — from those studying sampling costs to those implementing protocols in real-world quantum computing pipelines.

The goal is to foster collaboration between:

By convening this diverse group, we aim to generate focused ideas on what to research and build next in QEM, especially in the context of early fault-tolerant quantum computing (eFTQC).
