Quantum Bites is now Quantum Information Seminar Series with a new schedule available.
We’re excited to announce the launch of Quantum Bites, a new monthly brown bag seminar to spark connections, share exciting breakthroughs and grow a vibrant community in Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE). This is an excellent opportunity to stay current with quantum developments, foster interdisciplinary collaboration and support our growing quantum research community.
