In-person event | Monday 7 - Tuesday 8 July 2025 | experimenta Heilbronn

About the symposium
Machine Learning (ML) holds tremendous potential for advancing quantum hardware and software. Join us in exploring how ML can accelerate the development of quantum algorithms and enhance the control of Quantum Processing Units (QPUs). We will also highlight how quantum technologies benefit from innovative, ML-driven research approaches.
The symposium Machine Learning to Advance Quantum Technologies (ML4QT) offers a vibrant forum for researchers and developers passionate about the intersection of machine learning and quantum technologies. Whether you're already working in this exciting field or just beginning your journey, ML4QT is the ideal platform to explore opportunities and synergies that will shape the future of quantum innovation.
At this inaugural event, we are proud to introduce the emerging Applied Quantum AI Hub Heilbronn—a center dedicated to driving applied quantum research and innovation. Moreover, ML4QT marks the first step toward establishing an annual gathering designed to foster long-term exchange and collaboration between experts from academia, research institutions, and industry.

With the generous support of the Dieter Schwarz Foundation, the Program Committee will present a Best Paper Award and a Best Poster AwardEach award is endowed with €6,000 and is specifically dedicated to supporting young researchers e.g. Phds oder Postdocs). The awards aim to recognize academic as well as knoweldge transfer achievements, promote international scholarly exchange, and enable participation in leading global conferences.
We look forward to innovative contributions and impulses!
The symposium includes keynotes, invited and contributed talks as well as plenary discussions. There will also be a poster session, an evening event and a conference dinner.
