QIP 2026

We had 7 amazing days at the #QIP2026 conference in Riga! See you next year in Singapore! ✨

Sebastian Zur fits the compressed oracle method into the well known landscape of quantum lower bound methods (such as advesrary and multiplicative adversary method).

Lynn Engelberts presents a faster quantum algorithm for Shortest Vector Problem.

Galina Pass speaks about quantum algorithms that solve graph connectivity with small memory.

Guoding Liu talks about random 1D quantum circuits as a good approximation for Haar random transformations.

Isadora Veeren talks about distributed complexity of graph colouring in the quantum setting.

Ewin Tang talks about converting between different types of quantum resources.

Omri Schmueli talks about self destructing quantum digital signatures

Hao Chung-Cheng presents quantum layer cake theorem.

The Industry session of #QIP2026 starts with our Platinum sponsor @GoogleQuantumAI presentation.

Invited #QIP2026 plenary: John Watrous on "What I've learned from quantum education." @QIPConference

William He shows that arbitrarily complex quantum states can be certified using only single qubit measurements.

The #QIP2026 invited speaker John Watrous from @UWaterloo shares his 30 years of experience and insights into the development of quantum education, course design, and the role of education in shaping this field of science.

A wonderful and highly compressed medley on the consequences for quantum information theory when one is limited to computationally efficient steps at #QIP2026, impressively delivered by Lorenzo Leone and Thomas Hahn. If somebody had told me years ago that quantum information theory changes when only efficient quantum operations are used, I would have been astounded. "Entanglement theory with limited computational resources" @lorenzo_leone_, Jacopo Rizzo, Jens Eisert, Sofiène Jerbi nature.com/articles/s4156… arxiv.org/abs/2502.12284 "Quantum computational entropies" @avidanoam, Thomas Hahn, Rotem Arnon, @joerenes arxiv.org/abs/2506.14068 "Computational relative entropy" @jj_xyz, @non_unitary, Jacopo Rizzo, @lorenzo_leone_, Sofiène Jerbi, Jens Eisert arxiv.org/abs/2509.20472

✨ Phasecraft is a Silver sponsor of #QIP2026! Meet them during the conference expo! 🟢 Phasecraft is the quantum algorithms company focused on achieving practical quantum advantage through algorithm innovation targeting real-world applications.

Sami Boulebnane describes a QAOA based quantum algorithm for Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model.

Thomas Schuster @Caltech on "Strong random unitaries and fast scrambling," which addresses the question of how quickly quantum systems scramble information. #QIP2026 @QIPConference

Thomas Schuster explains why researchers care about scrambling quantum information.

Joseph Carolan @umdcs is giving a cryptography talk on a compressed permutation oracle and its soundness. #QIP2026 @QIPConference

Joseph Slote @UW on "Quantum precomputation: how to parallelize cascade circuits and the Moore–Nilsson conjecture is false." #QIP2026 @QIPConference
