Changed on 13/11/2024
Between 4 and 8 November 2024 two events are set to be held at the Inria Paris centre: We Are Quantum (WAQ) and Young Quantum Information Scientists (YQIS). Both on the theme of quantum, these events are open to Master’s and PhD students, as well as postdocs. This week-long event is being organised jointly by Inria, the CEA and the CNRS.

The first edition of We Are Quantum (WAQ) is to be held alongside Young Quantum Information Scientists (YQIS), an event known throughout the quantum world. This week will see WAQ and YQIS join forces to create a unique and informative event for Master’s students, Phd students and postdocs. Both WAQ and YQIS shine a spotlight on the work carried out by young researchers in different fields relating to quantum. Throughout the week there will be a whole host of opportunities to meet specialists, network and explore quantum issues.

We Are Quantum (WAQ)

We Are Quantum (WAQ) is a two-day conference targeted specifically at young researchers (Master’s and PhD students). The aim of this event is to present tutorials and explore career opportunities within three research institutes: Inria, the CEA and the CNRS. From 4 to 5 November, you will have the chance to explore the world of quantum, expanding your knowledge and forming relationships with experts in the field.

Young Quantum Information Scientists (YQIS)

The international conference for Young Quantum Information Scientists (YQIS) is a three-day event dedicated to quantum information theory, providing young researchers with a unique opportunity to present their research. YQIS covers a wide range of subjects within the quantum world, which you can discover by attending from 6 to 8 November.

Schedule for the week:

WAQ, tutorials on 4 and 5 November:

  • Quantum cryptography - Tony Metger (ETH Zürich) and Khashayar Barooti (Aztec labs)
  • Quantum computing - Lia Yeh (University of Oxford) and Tina Zhang (MIT) 
  • The foundations of quantum and information theory - Tein van der Lugt (University of Oxford) and Martin J. Renner (IQOQI Vienna)
  • The physics of complex systems and machine learning - Laura Lewis (Caltech IQI) and Christa Zoufal (IBM Quantum)

YQIS, topics covered on 6, 7 and 8 November:

  • Quantum computing and algorithms 
  • Quantum characterisation and detection
  • Quantum communication and cryptography 
  • Quantum networks and correlations
  • The foundations of quantum
  • Condensed-matter physics and the physics of complex systems
  • Optimisation and machine learning in quantum theory
  • Quantum thermodynamics and open systems
