Quantum Computing Scalability Conference 2025

Scaling quantum computers is central to the NQCC’s mission. Identifying bottlenecks and addressing the most pressing challenges are critical steps toward building efficient roadmaps and supporting the growth of the UK quantum computing ecosystem. The NQCC’s Quantum Computing Scalability Conference is dedicated to tackling the key scalability issues across quantum platforms, from engineering challenges to advances in quantum physics. This conference brings together experts from diverse quantum computing fields, fostering cross-disciplinary insights and enabling honest assessments of scalability.

As the premier research-focused event hosted by the NQCC, the conference features in-depth technical talks, panel discussions, and, for the first time this year, a poster session!

FOUNDATIONS2025: 22nd European Conference on Foundations of Physics

The International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT) at the University of Gdańsk (UG) is announcing the 22nd European Conference on Foundations of Physics. This is a continuation of the series of conferences in 1992. For more information about previous editions, please visit this link. The special accent of the 22nd Conference will be Quantum Theory, to celebrate its 100th birthday.

During this three-day event physicists working in foundations, mathematicians, and philosophers of science will have an opportunity to exchange ideas and their latest results covering topics such as foundational aspects of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, classical and quantum theories of gravity, thermal and statistical physics, astrophysics, cosmology and other.

The conference offers a platform for discussing foundational and philosophical issues in physics, following successful editions in Bristol (2023), Paris (2021), and earlier ones.

During the conference, two parallel sessions will be held. Moreover, attendees will be invited to join an outdoor poster session (vertical A0 format).

Key dates:

  • Submission and registration deadline for Speakers and Poster Presenters: March 15th, 2025
  • Registration deadline for the audience: June 30th, 2025
  • Notifications regarding the acceptance of conference submissions will be sent by April 30th. Speakers and Poster Presenters are asked to pay the conference fees only after receiving confirmation of the acceptance of their submission to the event.

The International School on Mid-InfraRed Technologies for Quantum Sensing (MIRQ)

MIRQ offers a focused opportunity to explore advancements in mid-infrared quantum sensing.
Over the course of a week, participants will engage in lectures, hands-on workshops, and discussions led by experts in the field. MIRQ provides an environment where knowledge exchange and collaboration are at the forefront, making it an ideal setting for both established researchers and those new to the field.

Quantum Biology School

The Quantum Biology School is organized by Pioneer Science, an independent, non-profit initiative created by the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR) to intensify disruptive scientific discovery in Brazil.

The school will inspire a new generation of researchers to explore how quantum processes influence biological phenomena, from enzyme function to photosynthesis. The program fosters research, trains specialists, and promotes collaborations in this emerging field.

Taught in Portuguese, the school features renowned professors Clarice Aiello, Marcelo Terra Cunha, Marucia Chacur, Luiz Davidovich, and Pedro Pascutti.

Participants will also engage in poster sessions and attend international seminars with experts like Paul Davies (Arizona State University), Peter Hore (University of Oxford), and Fabrisia Ambrosio (Harvard Medical School).

With a strong focus on theory, experimentation, and computational simulations, the school is a key step in positioning Brazil at the forefront of this revolutionary field.

📢 This event went through a widely publicized and open pre-selection process but is now closed to new entries.
