About CQCS 2026
The IEEE International Symposium on Quantum Computing and Communications Systems (CQCS 2026) is a new flagship symposium designed to address the next phase of quantum computing evolution: scalable, distributed, and intelligent quantum systems.
While leading venues such as:
• IEEE International symposium on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE)
• Quantum Information Processing (QIP) Symposium
• IEEE International Symposium on Quantum Communications, Networking, and Computing (QCNC)
focus on specific aspects of the field, CQCS uniquely integrates systems, intelligence, communication, and security.
🎯 Vision
The Quantum computing is transitioning from isolated devices to networked, service-oriented, and intelligent systems.
CQCS is founded on the belief that the future lies in:
• Distributed quantum infrastructures
• Hybrid quantum-classical pipelines
• Quantum AI and intelligent orchestration
• Secure and privacy-preserving quantum systems
🌍 Why CQCS?
• First symposium to unify quantum computing + communication + systems + AI + security
• Strong focus on real-world deployment and scalability
• Designed to bridge academia, industry, and infrastructure providers
