BeQCI Quantum Technologies Workshop

The BeQCI team is glad to present the BeQCI Quantum Technologies Workshop, a one-day event to bring together the Belgian academic community around the new, emerging quantum technologies. The event will feature tutorials from high-level speakers from Belgium, introducing and explaining the status of quantum technologies throughout the world, as well as a demonstration of the groundbreaking research performed in IMEC’s laboratories.

When and where?

The event will take place on the 5th of November, in the IMEC Campus in Leuven, more specifically in the Cafeteria -1A training room of the Campus.

Further details about how to reach the room from the IMEC tower will be provided upon registration.

What?

The event will cover the major advancement in quantum technologies, including quantum computing, quantum communication and quantum sensing form a bird-eye prospective, giving an overview on the most recent advancements.

The event will also feature a unique chance to visit to the IMEC labs where groundbreaking technology for quantum applications is developed. Be sure to not miss out on this unique chance!
