  •  NEWS    Toshiaki Koike-Akino to give a tutorial talk at ISIT 2025 Quantum Hackathon
  • Date:

    June 22, 2025

  • Where:

    IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT)

  • Description:

    Toshiaki Koike-Akino is invited to present a tutorial talk at IEEE ISIT 2025 Quantum Hackathon, to be held at Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. The talk, entitled "Emerging Quantum AI Technology", will discuss the recent trends, challenges, and applications of quantum artificial intelligence (QAI) technologies.

    The ISIT 2025 Quantum Hackathon invites participants to explore the intersection of quantum computing and information theory. Participants will work with quantum simulators, available quantum hardware, and state-of-the-art development kits to create innovative solutions that connect quantum advancements with challenges in communication and signal processing.

    The IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT) is the flagship conference of the IEEE Information Theory Society. The symposium centers around the presentation in all of the areas of information theory, including source and channel coding, communication theory and systems, cryptography and security, detection and estimation, networks, pattern recognition and learning, statistics, stochastic processes and complexity, and signal processing.
