We are thrilled to announce the upcoming QuantumSpeedUp Workshop, taking place from February 12 to 13, 2026. This 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 (ICTQT) at the University of Gdańsk, and the Centre for Optical Quantum Technologies (QOT) at the University of Warsaw.

This year’s format, as in previous years, includes speed talk sessions consisting of three-minute, single-slide presentations, which serve as an introduction to the concept presented on the poster during the poster session.

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 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 Smart Economy 2021–2027 (FENG). More about IRAP FENG Project.

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