Graphix workshop
18 - 20 November 2024, Paris.

Presentation
The Graphix workshop will bring together scientific researchers and software developers to discuss the development of Graphix. Graphix is an open-source software hosted on GitHub designed for transpiling, optimizing, and simulating measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC).
The workshop will feature scientific presentations on MBQC, ZX-calculus, hardware compilation, as well as technical discussions on the implementation of Graphix. Two rooms are booked for Tuesday afternoon: one for group discussions and the other dedicated to co-development. This time for exchange is central to the workshop, and we hope all participants will be able to attend.
The workshop will be held at Inria Paris, located at 48 rue Barrault, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. Venue information.
The registration is now closed. You may reach us at graphix-workshop@inria.fr.
