Joint Quantum Symposium
We would like to welcome you to the 1st annual Joint Quantum Symposium held at New York University. This is a joint effort between NYU, Columbia University and IBM to discuss materials, hardware, systems and software tools in quantum computing. The meeting is centered on new developments in quantum information technology and relations to other branches of science and engineering. This symposium is supported by QClub to build a research network among the younger generation of quantum researchers and to promote collaborations in New York area. We kindly ask all participants to register. If you have not already registered, please do so by sending an email to jointquantumsymposium@gmail.com. Registration is free.
