Industrial Quantum CAE Applications

iQCAE 2026

International Workshop Exploring the Future of Quantum Computing and CAE Simulations

Date

26 Jan 2026 (9:30 - 12:30)

Venue

Osaka International Convention Center, Room 702

Co-located Workshop at SCA/HPCAsia 2026

Welcome

This workshop will discuss applications of quantum computers to the field of CAE, an area expected to see broad use across industry and academia. In recent years, this field has come to be known as “QCAE,” and intensive research and development is being carried out by companies, universities, and research institutes. By leveraging quantum computing, QCAE is expected to enable high-accuracy numerical solutions for fluid simulations, large-scale structural analysis, and complex differential equations.

Aimed at participants of HPC/SCA 2026 who specialize in HPC, this workshop will guide you from the current status and basic principles of quantum computing through to cutting-edge QCAE initiatives, presented by leading experts. We expect that a basic understanding of numerical simulation—such as CAE computations using HPC and differential equations—will be sufficient to fully appreciate the content.

In addition to talks from top players in industry and academia, we are also planning informal discussions during the coffee break to enable closer and more open exchange of ideas.

Insights into the future of Quantum CAE from leading experts across industry and academia.

Presentations showcasing the latest QCAE research by emerging researchers in the field.

We are delighted to host this event and look forward to your participation.
