[RESEARCH DISSEMINATION]

We proudly congratulate Engr. Dylan Lopez, Computer Engineering Department alumnus of Adamson University and Technical Lead of Project STArQE representing the Quantum Computing Society of the Philippines (QCSP), for presenting our collaborative research at the IEEE International Conference on Quantum Control, Computing, and Learning (IEEE qCCL 2026) held on July 1 to 3, 2026 in Aalborg, Denmark.

The paper, “GPU-Based Hybrid Quantum Computing for EV Charging Station Decision Planning – A Case Study,” presents a hybrid quantum-classical framework for electric vehicle charging station planning. By integrating GPU-accelerated machine learning with quantum optimization techniques, the study explores how hybrid computing can improve EV charging demand forecasting and infrastructure planning, paving the way for smarter and more sustainable transportation systems.

This research is a collaborative effort among Adamson University, Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU), Taiwan, De La Salle University, Technological Institute of the Philippines, and NVIDIA. The paper is one of the research outputs of Project STArQE (Quantum Algorithms for E-Vehicle and Renewable Energy Infrastructure Planning), funded by the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (DOST-PCIEERD) under the Philippine–Thailand Joint Research Program.

Congratulations to Engr. Dylan and the entire research team for advancing quantum computing research and representing the Philippines on the international stage. We look forward to translating these innovations into practical solutions for sustainable energy and smart mobility.
