Quantum Rings at IEEE Quantum Week 2026

That's a wrap on IEEE Quantum Week 2026!

From September 13–18, the global quantum community gathered at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre for IEEE Quantum Week (QCE26), the IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering. Quantum Rings was proud to be on the exhibit floor all week at Booth 715, meeting the researchers, industry leaders, and students who are shaping the future of the field.

A Week of Conversations

IEEE Quantum Week brings together an unusually broad cross-section of the quantum ecosystem — hardware developers, software teams, academic researchers, and national labs all under one roof. Throughout the week, we had the chance to show visitors what we've been building: the Quantum Rings SDK, which lets researchers simulate quantum circuits at scales far beyond conventional simulators, and the Open Quantum platform, our execution layer connecting users to real quantum hardware.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth to learn about what we're working on, share what you're working on, and explore how we can help empower your quantum research. Conversations like these are exactly why we come to events like Quantum Week — the problems you're solving shape what we build next.

Congratulations to BlueQubit

We'd also like to congratulate Hrant Gharibyan, Hayk Tepanyan, and the entire BlueQubit team on receiving the Best Paper award for their work on peaked circuits. It's great to see rigorous work on quantum advantage benchmarking recognized, and we're glad to count the BlueQubit team among our friends in the community.

Familiar Faces

One of the best parts of Quantum Week is how much of the industry shows up. It was great to connect with so many of our friends from IBM Quantum, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Quantinuum, IonQ, Quantum Machines, Q-CTRL, Applied Quantum Software, Qblox, Classiq, Infleqtion, Atom Computing, IQM, AQT, Bifrost Electronics, and many others across the quantum community.

Thank you to the IEEE Quantum Week organizers for another outstanding event. See you all in Raleigh next year for QCE27!
