INAQT network meeting
We are excited to announce that the first in-person meeting of the INAQT network is taking place January 23rd - 25th in Glasgow!
The main aim of the meeting is to strengthen the network, which consists of a small number of active experts in the field of indefinite causal order (ICO), and many newcomers, experts in various areas of quantum technologies and quantum optics. The planned format aims to encourage meaningful interactions by dedicating time on extended focus talks from ICO experts, as well as invited talks and afternoons reserved for networking and poster sessions. The meeting will run over three days, each with a broad focus on a different aspect of ICO: foundations, implementations, and applications.
Registration is now closed. We are looking forward to welcoming network participants to Glasgow!
Update: Recordings from the meeting are linked after each day of the programme below.
Venue: Glasgow Grosvenor Hotel
