Quantum SpeedUp workshop: December 4-6, 2024

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming QuantumSpeedUp Workshop, taking place from December 4 to 6, 2024. This three-day event will bring together researchers from the quantum technology community to explore the latest advancements and challenges in developing quantum technologies. The workshop aims to foster collaboration, idea exchange, and inspiration among members of Poland’s rapidly growing quantum technology community.

The first Quantum SpeedUp was held in 2019, shortly after the establishment of the two International Research Agendas focused on quantum technologies: the International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies at the University of Gdańsk, and the Centre for Optical Quantum Technologies at the University of Warsaw. Since then, the event has become an annual fixture, steadily gaining popularity among scientific institutions.

This year’s edition will open with activities led by the International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT) at the University of Gdańsk. Key highlights include a presentation of ICTQT’s research agenda, with a particular focus on the goals and progress of the IRAP FENG Project.

Additionally, the workshop will feature keynote presentations, SpeedTalk sessions, a poster session, and plenty of networking opportunities.

Date: December 4-6, 2024
Location: University of Gdańsk, Wita Stwosza 57, 80-952 Gdańsk, Poland
Registration: https://forms.office.com/e/RYzw7EWfUC
Participation: Free of charge

Registration deadline: November 13, 2024

Stay tuned for updates on the agenda, speakers, and registration details. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the future of quantum technologies!

This year event is part of the promotion of research conducted by the ICTQT at the University of Gdańsk, under the project titled ‘International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies 2.0: R&D Industrial-Experimental Phase’ (contract no. FENG.02.01-IP.05-0006/23). The mentioned project aims to develop new and groundbreaking quantum technology methods and their applications. The research will focus on the advancement of quantum devices such as quantum random number generators, quantum communication links, more advanced sensors, and quantum software. The research is led by Prof. Marek Żukowski, a prominent Polish theoretical physicist specializing in the foundations of quantum mechanics. The project is being carried out as part of the IRAP FENG initiative of the Foundation for Polish Science, co-financed by the European Union under Priority 2 of the European Funds for a Modern Economy 2021–2027 (FENG).
