Logic, Quantum Computing, and Artificial Intelligence (LQCAI 2021)
Time: January 14-15, 2022
Venue: Virtual via Zoom
Description:
LQCAI 2021, is the first of a series of international events exploring potential applications of logic and quantum physics in future developments of robotics and artificial intelligence. The conference is part of an extensive joint international initiative based on collaborations between the Institute for Interdisciplinary Research in Fundamental Sciences (IRFS) in Iran and various universities, research institutes, and companies all around the world including SpaceLand (Italy-based space company), Qureca (U.K.-based quantum technology company), the Malaysian branch of the Xiamen University of China, Malaysian Mathematical Sciences Society (PERSAMA), and the Logic Association of Malaysia (PMM).
It is aimed to bridge the existing gap between theoretical research and practical applications in the related fields. Hopefully, such events will provide a fertile ground for collaborations between scientists of different backgrounds in mathematical logic, quantum computing, physics, and artificial intelligence.
