Aims:
Quantum computing is the area of study focused on developing computer technology based on the principles of quantum theory, which explains the nature and behaviour of energy and matter on the quantum (atomic and subatomic) level. The development of a quantum computer, if practical, would mark a leap forward in computing capability far greater than that from the abacus to a modern-day supercomputer. Along with research on an actual quantum computer, quantum computing concepts have been utilized to make evolutionary quantum-inspired machine learning algorithms that work in classical computers. Evolutionary Computing (EC) has been on several occasions directly linked to quantum computing such as quantum evolutionary computation or evolutionary design for quantum computer design, etc. Evolutionary methods are a prime tool for the exploration and exploitation of quantum properties. These algorithms help to improve the performance of existing computing models and algorithms to perform better by using quantum computing concepts.
Scope and Topics:
The aim of this special session on evolutionary quantum machine learning algorithms is to provide a platform for researchers and scientist discuss latest advances in this field. Researchers and scientist are invited to submit original and unpublished research that include theoretical and experimental results of advances scalable machine learning techniques in the following and other related areas. The scope of this special session covers among others but not limited to the following topics:
