<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Analog Quantum Computation: From Annealing to Simulation.
Quantum annealing is a method of quantum computation for solving combinatorial optimisation problems operating in continuous time, a feature that is shared with various methods of analog quantum simulation. The International Network on Quantum Annealing (INQA) 2025 conference aims to bring together leading experts in analog quantum computation and simulation to share and discuss their latest results. Theoretical, numerical and experimental works are welcome, as well as contributions within the theme from related fields.This year’s conference of INQA will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from November 2 – 5, 2025. This is the 4th instalment of this conference series, which previously took place in London (2022), Innsbruck (2023) and Tokyo (2024).

Agenda
Introductory Workshop I
This introductory workshop offers theorists a hands-on encounter with the world of quantum hardware, focusing on superconducting qubits and their experimental environment. Across three progressive sessions—45 minutes on the basic principles of superconducting qubits, 45 minutes on the design and measurement of quantum circuits, and a one-hour practical use case—participants will gain a clear, accessible view of how quantum systems are physically realized and operated. The aim is not to provide exhaustive technical coverage, but to build intuitive understanding and a bridge between theoretical concepts and laboratory reality. Short breaks between sessions are included to give the mind space to absorb the material before moving forward.
Introductory Workshop II
In this session, we will present Qilimanjaro’s Software Development Kit (QiliSDK), a tool for connecting to and interacting with our quantum devices. QiliSDK offers digital, analog, and hybrid digital-analog modules, enabling users to design and execute complex quantum algorithms. The workshop will begin with an overview of the toolkit’s capabilities, followed by a hands-on segment where participants will tackle a series of problems and experiments using the new SDK.
📍 The location of these workshops will be at Qilimanjaro’s Headquarters located in Carrer Veneçuela 74, Barcelona.
