Quantum technologies are redefining the landscape of computation and sensing, offering transformative solutions to challenges that traditional methods struggle to overcome. These technologies go beyond classical limitations, unlocking unprecedented potential in computational speed, measurement accuracy, and secure data transmission. As quantum technologies mature, their integration into everyday applications holds significant promise.

This thematic session aims to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and practical applications, inviting contributions that explore the impact of quantum technologies, specifically Quantum Computing and Quantum Sensing, in transforming established standards in AI and metrology.

We encourage discussions on how quantum-enhanced algorithms enable faster and more accurate processing of complex, high-dimensional datasets, providing solutions where traditional techniques fall short due to the inherent complexity of the data. In addition, the session will focus on Quantum Sensing as a revolutionary tool for precision measurement, where Quantum-enhanced sensors push the limits of classical metrology, offering improvements in the measurement of physical quantities that could transform various industries. We also welcome contributions on the integration of Quantum Communication technologies into secure data transmission.
