Intersection of quantum learning theory, quantum sensing and quantum verification

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 27 April to 01 May 2026.

This workshop brings together the communities of quantum learning theory, quantum sensing, and quantum verification to explore their shared challenges and opportunities. While each field has made significant independent progress, interaction between them has historically been limited despite their closely related goals. Motivated by both rigorous theory and rapid experimental advances, the workshop aims to foster meaningful cross-disciplinary dialogue, with a particular focus on the capabilities of near- and intermediate-term quantum devices. Key themes include leveraging learning-theoretic and algorithmic techniques to enhance quantum sensing, developing improved noise models and error mitigation strategies, using insights from sensing and metrology to inspire new quantum algorithms, and addressing the critical challenge of verifying quantum computations on noisy devices that exceed classical simulation capabilities. By uniting leading researchers across domains, the workshop seeks to bridge theory and practice and catalyse new collaborative directions in quantum technologies.
