Politecnico di Torino, Italy
It is my highest honor and pleasure, as President of IEEE Photonics Society, to extend my heartfelt congratulations and warmest wishes to all attendees of the 2026 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Quantum Photonics, Artificial Intelligence and Networking (QPAIN 2026). Building on the remarkable success of its first edition, QPAIN continues to thrive as an active international conference where innovation, collaboration, and scientific excellence can merge to shape the future of technology.
The success of QPAIN 2025 has laid a strong foundation for this second edition. With over 5,000 researchers from 28 countries submitting more than 1,800 papers, of which 600 were peer-reviewed and presented at the meeting, the conference demonstrated the global relevance and academic strength of this rapidly evolving field. It was a milestone achievement for the IEEE Photonics Society Bangladesh Chapter and a clear reflection of the growing worldwide interest in quantum photonics, artificial intelligence, and advanced networking, fields that are transforming the way we communicate, compute, and connect.
At QPAIN 2026, the convergence of quantum-enabled photonics, intelligent computing, and next-generation communication networks remains at the forefront of the agenda of thia annual gathering. These transformative technologies are reshaping our digital world, offering vast potential while also calling upon us to ensure that innovation remains ethical, inclusive, and beneficial to all of humanity.
The IEEE Photonics Society is proud to support QPAIN’s mission to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, mentorship, and global dialogue. I encourage everyone, especially early-career researchers and young professionals, to engage deeply, embrace new ideas, and build lasting partnerships that will fuel future discoveries. The knowledge and connections formed here will illuminate the technologies that empower individuals and strengthen societies.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the organizing committee, technical chairs, reviewers and volunteers whose dedicated efforts ensure the continued excellence of this conference. I am both proud and optimistic to see QPAIN return once again to the Chittagong Division of Bangladesh in 2026. May this event inspire new ideas, fruitful collaborations, and groundbreaking innovations that advance knowledge and improve our world.
Thank you.
Sincerely
Prof. Gabriella Bosco
