Quantum Technology conferences

Explore how quantum technologies can advance fundamental and high-energy physics, and how methods, infrastructure and expertise developed in particle physics can contribute to quantum science. The interdisciplinary programme connects researchers from laboratories, universities and industry to assess current capabilities, technical challenges and promising research directions. Scientific themes include quantum and hybrid algorithms, simulation, sensing and quantum networks, alongside the development of shared expertise and collaborations. 23 November at 09:00 to 27 November at 20:30; Europe/Zurich (CET, UTC+01:00). In-person participation at CERN. The conference announces a 30 October registration deadline. The regular fee is CHF 300; applications for a limited number of student fee waivers are available. Abstract submission and early-bird registration have closed.

The Fall Meeting connects materials synthesis, structure and properties with applications in energy, electronics, quantum technologies and medicine. Its symposia combine in situ electron microscopy, ultrafast measurements, diffraction, spectroscopy and computational modelling to study dynamic processes, defects and interfaces. Research tracks examine batteries and sustainable chemical conversion, semiconductor and photonic devices, quantum matter, nanoscale assembly, soft bioelectronics, regenerative biomaterials, and structural materials for extreme environments. AI-assisted design and autonomous experiments are addressed alongside experimental characterization and manufacturing. The plenary examines recovery of critical elements from urban waste streams and decarbonization of metal production. The meeting takes place on 29 November–4 December 2026 in Eastern Time (America/New_York, UTC−05:00). Sunday tutorials run 08:30–17:00; Monday's plenary is 08:15–09:30. Symposia run through the week, ending Friday at 13:00. All sessions and presentations are in person. Registration requires an MRS account. Until 29 October at 23:59 ET, general registration is US$1,240, or US$1,085 with the member discount; student rates are US$380 or US$335. Higher rates begin on 30 October. Breaking News abstract submissions closed on 16 September.

The conference examines when quantum processes influence biological function and how quantum technologies can measure living systems. Experimental and theoretical approaches connect molecular behaviour with effects at cellular and organism scales. Themes include quantum contributions to sensory biology, control and measurement in biological environments, quantum light and sensors, and applications in biomedical diagnosis. The programme brings biological, chemical and quantum-science perspectives together to identify unresolved mechanisms and useful measurement strategies. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.

The conference connects theoretical advances in quantum computing with the capabilities and constraints of real hardware. Academic and industrial researchers will discuss applied theory and pathways toward useful quantum-computing applications. The planned format combines keynote and industry talks with contributed research presentations and posters, creating opportunities to compare practical challenges with new algorithmic and theoretical approaches.

The conference examines engineered systems that use superposition and entanglement for computing, communication and measurement. Topics range from computing fundamentals and architectures to networking devices, quantum sensors and metrology. Researchers from universities, industry, government and national laboratories will discuss technical progress and the ecosystems needed to turn it into useful technologies. Co-location with the Quantum Executive Forum connects scientific developments with emerging products and applications.

The meeting examines how coherence, entanglement, correlations and control improve measurement. Platforms include spin defects, atoms and ions, photonic and levitated systems, and molecular or biological sensors. Discussion addresses noise, decoherence, readout, fabrication and calibration alongside robustness and scalability. Applications range from nanoscale materials and living systems to medical imaging, geoscience, navigation, precision gravity and searches for new physics. A further focus is translating laboratory sensors into reliable devices for practical use. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.

This conference explores how controlled quantum dynamics enable computing, simulation, sensing and metrology. It spans atoms, molecules, nanoscale structures, interacting many-body systems and qubits, from ultrafast phenomena to long-time evolution. Sessions examine quantum thermodynamics, chirality, coherent nanoscale effects, engineered dynamics and AI-assisted control. Theory and experiment will be compared across platforms, with poster sessions and selected short presentations supporting discussion of unpublished research. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.
