Quantum computing has moved quickly since our first Shonan meeting in 2023. This reunion meeting takes stock of what has happened in the intervening years and pushes on three fronts. We bring together leading researchers alongside rising junior researchers, with the aim of seeding collaborations across communities. There are three focused topics: 1. Quantum distributed computing; 2. Quantum proofs and learning; and 3. Quantum cryptography.
