2026 invites original research contributions for the special\r\n track \"Quantum Algorithms and NMR-Based Implementations in the NISQ Era.\"\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n Recent advances in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computing have created new opportunities\r\n to investigate quantum algorithms under realistic hardware constraints and to explore practical\r\n quantum computing applications. While large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers remain a long-term\r\n goal, current quantum devices provide valuable platforms for algorithm development, benchmarking, and\r\n experimental validation.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n Among the available quantum technologies, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) quantum processors continue\r\n to play an important role as stable and reproducible platforms for implementing foundational quantum\r\n algorithms, studying noise and decoherence effects, benchmarking quantum hardware, and supporting\r\n quantum computing education.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n We welcome contributions that advance the understanding, implementation, and application of quantum\r\n algorithms and quantum information processing in the NISQ era.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <p>\r\n Abstract-only submissions are handled through the main ICCMM conference. Full-paper authors should\r\n prepare their manuscripts using the CLEI submission guidelines and template.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <a class=\"primary-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clei.org\/cleiej\/index.php\/cleiej\/about\/submissions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View full paper template<\/a>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"topics-block\">\r\n <h2>Topics of Interest<\/h2>\r\n <p>Submissions are invited in areas including, but not limited to:<\/p>\r\n <ul class=\"topics-list\">\r\n <li>Mathematical analysis of quantum algorithms and quantum circuits<\/li>\r\n <li>NMR-based quantum computing: modelling, control, and implementation<\/li>\r\n <li>Noise models, decoherence analysis, and error characterisation<\/li>\r\n <li>Experimental demonstrations of quantum protocols<\/li>\r\n <li>Benchmarking studies of quantum hardware and simulation platforms<\/li>\r\n <li>Mathematical modelling of quantum noise channels and fidelity measures<\/li>\r\n <li>Quantum circuit optimisation and resource analysis<\/li>\r\n <li>Educational frameworks and reproducible quantum computing experiments<\/li>\r\n <li>Hybrid classical-quantum algorithms<\/li>\r\n <li>Error mitigation techniques for near-term quantum devices<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <aside class=\"dates-panel\" aria-label=\"Important dates\">\r\n <p class=\"eyebrow\">Important Dates<\/p>\r\n <h2>Full Paper Timeline<\/h2>\r\n <dl class=\"dates-list\">\r\n <div>\r\n <dt>Full paper submission deadline<\/dt>\r\n <dd>August 07, 2026<\/dd>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div>\r\n <dt>Abstract acceptance notification<\/dt>\r\n <dd>October 01, 2026<\/dd>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div>\r\n <dt>Initial decision on full papers<\/dt>\r\n <dd>October 15, 2026<\/dd>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div>\r\n <dt>Revised manuscript submission<\/dt>\r\n <dd>October 21, 2026<\/dd>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div>\r\n <dt>Final full paper acceptance<\/dt>\r\n <dd>November 01, 2026<\/dd>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/dl>\r\n <p class=\"dates-note\">Abstract-only submissions follow the main conference process.

2026 invites original research contributions for the special\r\n track \"Quantum Algorithms and NMR-Based Implementations in the NISQ Era.\"\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n Recent advances in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computing have created new opportunities\r\n to investigate quantum algorithms under realistic hardware constraints and to explore practical\r\n quantum computing applications. While large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers remain a long-term\r\n goal, current quantum devices provide valuable platforms for algorithm development, benchmarking, and\r\n experimental validation.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n Among the available quantum technologies, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) quantum processors continue\r\n to play an important role as stable and reproducible platforms for implementing foundational quantum\r\n algorithms, studying noise and decoherence effects, benchmarking quantum hardware, and supporting\r\n quantum computing education.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <p>\r\n We welcome contributions that advance the understanding, implementation, and application of quantum\r\n algorithms and quantum information processing in the NISQ era.\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n <p>\r\n Abstract-only submissions are handled through the main ICCMM conference. Full-paper authors should\r\n prepare their manuscripts using the CLEI submission guidelines and template.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <a class=\"primary-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clei.org\/cleiej\/index.php\/cleiej\/about\/submissions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View full paper template<\/a>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"topics-block\">\r\n <h2>Topics of Interest<\/h2>\r\n <p>Submissions are invited in areas including, but not limited to:<\/p>\r\n <ul class=\"topics-list\">\r\n <li>Mathematical analysis of quantum algorithms and quantum circuits<\/li>\r\n <li>NMR-based quantum computing: modelling, control, and implementation<\/li>\r\n <li>Noise models, decoherence analysis, and error characterisation<\/li>\r\n <li>Experimental demonstrations of quantum protocols<\/li>\r\n <li>Benchmarking studies of quantum hardware and simulation platforms<\/li>\r\n <li>Mathematical modelling of quantum noise channels and fidelity measures<\/li>\r\n <li>Quantum circuit optimisation and resource analysis<\/li>\r\n <li>Educational frameworks and reproducible quantum computing experiments<\/li>\r\n <li>Hybrid classical-quantum algorithms<\/li>\r\n <li>Error mitigation techniques for near-term quantum devices<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <aside class=\"dates-panel\" aria-label=\"Important dates\">\r\n <p class=\"eyebrow\">Important Dates<\/p>\r\n <h2>Full Paper Timeline<\/h2>\r\n <dl class=\"dates-list\">\r\n <div>\r\n <dt>Full paper submission deadline<\/dt>\r\n <dd>August 07, 2026<\/dd>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div>\r\n <dt>Abstract acceptance notification<\/dt>\r\n <dd>October 01, 2026<\/dd>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div>\r\n <dt>Initial decision on full papers<\/dt>\r\n <dd>October 15, 2026<\/dd>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div>\r\n <dt>Revised manuscript submission<\/dt>\r\n <dd>October 21, 2026<\/dd>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div>\r\n <dt>Final full paper acceptance<\/dt>\r\n <dd>November 01, 2026<\/dd>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/dl>\r\n <p class=\"dates-note\">Abstract-only submissions follow the main conference process.
