Welcome to the Seminar on Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing!
On October 15 and 16, 2026, we invite you to join us, either in person at the Auditorium of the Center for Research and Development of Digital Technology (IPN-CITEDI) in Tijuana, Mexico, or virtually, for two days of exploration at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing.
This seminar is a space for everyone: students, researchers, professionals, and anyone curious about the technologies shaping the future. Expect engaging talks, open discussions, and the freedom to ask questions that challenge the boundaries of knowledge.
Through initiatives like this, CITEDI, with the participation of CETYS Universidad and Universidad Politécnica de Pachuca, fosters a vibrant community where ideas evolve into innovation. One of the core objectives is to promote scientific vocations among young people, encouraging the next generation to pursue discovery and research.
We believe in the power of shared knowledge to shape the future, and we hope this seminar becomes a recurring tradition that continues to inspire and connect minds across disciplines.
Below you’ll find the detailed program for the Seminar on Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing, taking place on October 15 and 16, 2026. Each day features a carefully curated lineup of sessions, including keynote lectures and technical presentations, covering a wide range of topics such as quantum algorithms, machine learning, and real-world AI applications.
