Details
The Princeton Quantum Technology Conference (PQTC) aims to to bring together visionary speakers from disparate fields that are pushing the frontiers of quantum technology by seriously tackling challenges in quantum hardware and materials, system architecture and scaling, and error correction. The event structure will be designed to allow ample time for discussion and interaction, with the hope of catalyzing new ideas and collaborations.
This event is supported by the Princeton Quantum Initiative.
