Quantum-inspired technologies have begun to emerge in various areas of Science and Engineering. In the realm of quantum computing, researchers develop algorithms that carry the potential to solve extremely hard computational problems, which are currently intractable by conventional algorithms. Recent advances demonstrated the potential of quantum algorithms in tackling successfully well-known difficult problems in number theory. We believe the time is ripe to challenge quantum computing researchers with hard computational problems in algebraic and analytic number theory, in order to assess the potential speedups that can be achieved with quantum algorithms and to devise new quantum algorithms to tackle such problems. The fundamental mandate of our proposed workshop will be to provide a forum for both scientific presentations and discussion of issues related to what we call quantum computational number theory. Number theory researchers will learn about the quantum technology and methodologies and the quantum researchers will learn about hard number theory problems that may yield to quantum computational number theory approaches.

All talks are held within Eastern Standard Time.
