INQA Conference 2025 | International Network on Quantum Annealing Conference (INQA 2025)

The 4th International Network on Quantum Annealing Conference (INQA 2025) will take place from 2–5 November 2025 in Barcelona, organised by Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech, Universitat de Barcelona and TalentQ.

This year’s edition, titled “Quantum Simulation and Quantum Computation in Continuous Time”, will gather leading researchers and practitioners from across the quantum community to present and discuss the latest developments in analogue approaches to quantum computing and optimisation (such as quantum annealing), as well as analogue simulations of quantum many-body systems. Both theoretical and experimental contributions are in scope, with a strong focus on addressing open problems and advancing the practical utility of analogue quantum technologies.

Participants can expect:

• A rigorous scientific programme of invited talks, contributed presentations, and poster sessions.
• Introductory workshops on superconducting quantum hardware, hosted at Qilimanjaro’s facilities.
• Deep-dive discussions and technical sessions on quantum annealing, hardware platforms, algorithmic development, and simulation methods.
• Networking opportunities with international experts, industry leaders, and junior researchers.
• Lab tours showcasing Barcelona’s growing quantum research ecosystem.

With past editions held in London, Innsbruck, and Tokyo, INQA has established itself as a unique forum for academic excellence, collaboration, and innovation. The 2025 edition in Barcelona is set to reinforce Europe’s leadership in quantum research and highlight the potential of analogue quantum technologies in the global landscape.
