REVERSIBLE COMPUTATION 2026<br>
18th International Conference on Reversible Computation<br>
July 9th - July 10th, 2026, Torino, Italy<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://reversible-computation.github.io/__;!!IBzWLUs!R6b6ZrILi2IhvLttKq34OzRHicte3Tm90EfK2Xe_GitfD7P-JpjT385S2hrBfuw8U6wft0vL-2xXL43Ov7JVNXLNkpZKMqdl945NUmDzM94F$" moz-do-not-send="true"><https://reversible-computation.github.io/></a> <br>
<br>
Purpose & Scope<br>
===============<br>
<br>
Reversible computation has a growing number of promising
application areas such as low-power electronics,
encoding/decoding, debugging, testing and verification, database
recovery, discrete event simulation, the modeling of biochemical
systems, and reversible algorithms, specification formalisms,
programming languages and process algebras. Furthermore,
reversible logic provides a basis for quantum computation with its
applications, for example, in cryptography and in the development
of highly efficient algorithms. First reversible circuits and
quantum circuits have been implemented and are seen as promising
alternatives to conventional CMOS technology.<br>
<br>
The 18th edition of the Reversible Computation conference will
bring together researchers from computer science, mathematics, and
physics to discuss new developments and directions for future
research in Reversible Computation, including applications of
reversibility to quantum computation. Research papers, tutorials,
tool demonstrations, and work-in-progress reports are within the
scope of the conference. Contributions on all areas of Reversible
Computation are welcome, including---but not limited to---the
following topics:<br>
<br>
- Applications<br>
- Architectures<br>
- Algorithms<br>
- Bidirectional transformations<br>
- Circuit Design<br>
- Debugging<br>
- Fault Tolerance and Error Correction<br>
- Hardware<br>
- Information Theory<br>
- Physical Realizations<br>
- Programming Languages<br>
- Program Transformation and Optimisation<br>
- Quantum Computation<br>
- Software<br>

papers must be understandable without them.<br>
<br>
The paper submission will be accepted as a PDF file using
Springer's LNCS style
(<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines__;!!IBzWLUs!R6b6ZrILi2IhvLttKq34OzRHicte3Tm90EfK2Xe_GitfD7P-JpjT385S2hrBfuw8U6wft0vL-2xXL43Ov7JVNXLNkpZKMqdl945NUkoO-6ti$" moz-do-not-send="true"><https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines></a>).<br>
Authors are encouraged to include their ORCID (<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://orcid.org/__;!!IBzWLUs!R6b6ZrILi2IhvLttKq34OzRHicte3Tm90EfK2Xe_GitfD7P-JpjT385S2hrBfuw8U6wft0vL-2xXL43Ov7JVNXLNkpZKMqdl945NUlb8U0lg$" moz-do-not-send="true"><https://orcid.org/></a>) number in
the paper.<br>
<br>
At least one author of each accepted paper is expected to register
and present the paper at the conference. We would appreciate if
one person would not present more than two papers at the
conference: if more than two papers are accepted by a group of
authors, we kindly ask that the papers be presented by different
co-authors, as far as possible. <br>
