Adiabatic Quantum Computing (AQC) 2025 Conference will be held at the campus of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada from June 9-12, 2025.
The AQC conference series, now in its 14th year, is an annual international gathering of researchers working on diverse aspects of quantum computing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, experimental and theoretical approaches to realizing quantum computing, quantum-inspired heuristics and hardware, and applications of quantum computing in science and industry.
The AQC 2025 Conference is held on the grounds of the UBC Point Grey (Vancouver) campus, which sits on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) First Nation.
