MQSC at IEEE Quantum Week 2026: Across the Full Quantum Stack, and a Best Paper Award
From superconducting qubits to photonic computing, compiler infrastructure to fault-tolerant stacks — MQSC covered the full quantum software landscape at IEEE Quantum Week 2026, and came home with a Best Paper Award.
IEEE Quantum Week is one of the most important gatherings in the quantum computing calendar — and at the 2026 edition, MQSC was present across the full spectrum of the programme. The team contributed talks, tutorials, workshops, panels, posters, and open-source tools spanning much of the quantum software stack: superconducting qubits, neutral atoms, trapped ions, photonic computing, compiler infrastructure, hardware-software interfaces, and fault-tolerant quantum computing.
The week also brought a Best Paper Award — a recognition that reflects the depth and quality of the research MQSC is contributing to the field.
All of this happened in close collaboration with partners across the ecosystem, including AWS, IQM, NVIDIA, Xanadu, Quandela, QuEra, Quantinuum, Unitary Foundation, and Munich Quantum Valley, among others.
