The 2nd Workshop on HPC/AI Integration with Quantum Computing/Networking
(HAIQ 2026)
explores the integration of high-performance computing (HPC) and AI architecture with quantum technologies
to deliver practical and scalable systems.
In addition to algorithms, programming models/compilers, noise mitigation and fault tolerance, and
hardware-software co-design,
this year's focus expands to distributed platforms: quantum communication networking protocols, resource
management across networked quantum nodes,
and architectures for distributed quantum computing.
By fostering a dialog between classical distributed-systems, architecture, HPC/AI, and quantum-information
communities,
HAIQ will identify the architectural and systems support needed to move beyond proof-of-principle physical
devices toward robust, large-scale quantum networks and end-to-end hybrid workflows.
It also aims to bridge the gap between the classical high-performance architecture community and the quantum
information community.
The Collection Foundations and Advances in HPC/AI-Quantum Co-Design
is now live on npj Quantum
Information, launched in collaboration with members of the HAIQ committee. The Collection
features independently peer-reviewed research on hybrid classical-quantum architectures, distributed
quantum systems, AI-driven control, and HPC-enhanced quantum applications.
This is not a proceedings track; submissions are welcome from all researchers in the field.

Format
Poster Only
We invite poster proposal submitted via the workshop website. Each proposal should include the following:
Poster title — Descriptive and attractive to potential attendees.
Poster authors — Contact information for all poster authors and indication of the
main contact.
Poster abstract — 200-250 words to be posted on the workshop website upon
acceptance of the poster proposal.
The proposal shall be submitted via our submission portal. No pdf submission is required and the
proposal
shall be directly filled into the abstract section.
The poster shall be relevant to the topics above and reviewed for approval by the program committee
members.
Contributed Talk
We invite submissions on a broad range of topics related to the integration of classical HPC/AI with
quantum computing/networking submitted via the workshop website. Topics of interest cover the five
tracks. We plan to accept two forms of submissions:
Extended Abstract: Double column, up to 2 pages + additional references.
Full Paper: Double Column, no pages limit.
The submission can be in ACM format, IEEE format, or APS format. You can use the
following
Overleaf templates:
The review process will follow double-blind review process by the program committee members, and
submissions shall not include any author identifying information.
We will not publish proceedings.
The distinguished accepted papers will receive invitation and recommendation for submission to the
cooperating
Collection on
npj Quantum Information.
Therefore, authors need to disclose whether the submitted paper has been published or under review for
publication
at any other venues at the submission. Previous publication or presentation of the submitted work will
not affect
the decision of acceptance at HAIQ 2026.
Submissions not accepted as a talk will automatically be considered as a poster.
Registration Requirement
All presenters must register for at least a one-day workshop. Register here.
Student Travel Grant
A limited number of Student Travel Grants ($400 each, up to 10 students) are available on a strict
first-come, first-served basis upon proof of registration. Contact the Program Chairs to apply!
