SQuInT 2024 Annual Workshop
October 30, 2024 8:00 AM -
November 1, 2024 6:00 PM
Omni Interlocken Hotel in Boulder CO
We are thrilled to announce the 2024 SQuInT Workshop be held on October 30 (Wed) 2024 - November 1 (Fri), 2024, and it will be held at the Omni Interlocken Hotel in Boulder CO.!
The Southwest Quantum Information and Technology (SQuInT) is a consortium of universities, national labs, and industrial labs, with concentration in the southwestern United States. The SQuInT meeting has a strong tradition of mixing invited talks from world-class leading researchers with talks by junior researchers across the SQuInT network, to promote an interactive environment. The meeting brings together the broad community of researchers in Quantum Information Science, including experimental physicists, theorists, and computer scientists.
The purpose of this network is to facilitate the exchange of resources -- intellectual and human -- amongst the node institutions. Membership in the network is currently focused on, but not limited to, the Southwest region of the United States (hence the name).
We look forward very much to seeing you this October!
