The agenda will be posted here at a later date.
Topics and Technical Scope
APQC 2027 will host talks, discussion, and debate on topics including (but not limited to):
QCVV techniques for characterizing errors in 1, 2, or more qubits.
Use of quantum algorithms or algorithm-like circuits to probe high-level performance.
Comparing the performance of quantum processors to their classical competition.
Development and use of well-motivated benchmarking suites.
Software for quantum performance assessment.
Modeling and understanding obstacles to performance, including
quantum noise and errors
limits to programmability
latency, unreliability, and other hindrances.
This year at APQC we will feature a special session on QCVV for Logical Qubits. One of the principal uses of QCVV tools is to constrain low-level physics models of quantum computing hardware, and we welcome talks and submissions that highlight such work.
The focus of APQC is on digital (gate- or circuit-model) quantum computing, but interesting connections to adiabatic, annealing, analog, or other quantum computing models are welcome.
Application, Registration and Abstract Submission Information
Due to space and funding constraints, APQC is limited to at most 90 participants. Applications for APQC 2027 are now open. Apply here!
Location and Venue
APQC will be held from May 3-6 (Mon-Thurs) at the Holiday Inn Estes Park, formerly the Ridgeline Hotel, in Estes Park, Colorado. Estes Park is the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park, one of the most scenic locations in the United States.
The nearest airport is Denver, Colorado (DEN), and Estes Park is roughly 90 minutes by car from DEN. Here are some links to further information about what there is to do and see around Estes Park:

Transportation
Here are some options for getting to the Holiday Inn Estes Park from the Denver Airport:
Rental Car
Estes Park Shuttle ($155 per person round trip)
Ride share, e.g. Uber or Lyft, (~$130 each way)
Hotel Reservation/ Booking Information:
Instructions on how to book a room at the Holiday Inn Estes Park Hotel will be emailed to accepted participants. If you are an accepted participant and are still seeking to book a room, please contact qpl@sandia.gov for assistance.
Invited Speakers
APQC 2027 will host a number of invited talks presenting some of the most exciting developments and accomplishments in quantum performance assessment from around the world. Our invited speakers will be listed here at a later date.
Schedule & Agenda
APQC 2027 will begin at 8:45am on Monday, May 3, and end at 5:00pm on Thursday, May 6. The agenda will be posted at a later date. It will includes invited talks, contributed talks, roundtable discussions, lunchtime perspective presentations, and a special session on QCVV for logical qubits. Working meals (breakfast, lunch, and one dinner) will be provided for registered participants.
Continuing the tradition that began at APQC 2023, one morning will be talk-free to encourage scientific collaboration in the Rocky Mountains.
