The Center for Quantum Science & Technologies (FORTH-QuTech) has been recently established at the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), aiming to develop new tools for groundbreaking investigations across various basic research and technology disciplines, generate new knowledge in the understanding of quantum phenomena and form a critical mass of researchers from various disciplines to develop new paradigms, knowledge and understanding.

In this context, the kick-off meeting will bring together leading experts to enlighten on the current status and future prospects of quantum technologies, focusing on the following three key themes:

1: Quantum technologies in EU: Current status and future steps
2: Quantum computation, simulation, and cryptography
3: Quantum light, many-body physics, and sensing
