QNM Exchange
March 3, 2023 8:00 AM -
March 3, 2023 5:00 PM
PAIS UNM, Albuquerque, NM
Following the 2022 Quantum Symposium which launched the Quantum New Mexico (QNM) project, The QNM Exchange workshop was held on March 3, 2023.
QNM Exchange was an opportunity to build collaborations and learn about new mechanisms for building institutional bridges between the University of New Mexico and Sandia National Laboratories in Quantum Information Science & Engineering.
A key component of QNM Exchange was the technical exchange. To facilitate this, QNM Exchange included a series of lightning talks to highlight the research ongoing across our communities.
QNM Exchange was held as a hybrid event in the Physics & Astronomy and Interdisciplinary Science (PAÍS) building on the UNM campus and over Zoom.
