SUMMARY:SQuIP - Solid State Systems for Quantum Information Processing International Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Quantum Information Processing (QIP) leverages the principles of quantum mechanics—superposition\, entanglement\, and measurement—to encode\, process\, and transmit information in ways that classical systems cannot achieve. By overcoming the limitations of conventional digital architectures\, QIP promises transformative advances in computing\, communication\, and sensing. \nSilicon-based microelectronics\, powered by complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology\, has driven decades of innovation\, but further miniaturization of transistors is approaching fundamental limits. Yet\, the vast industrial expertise in high-volume semiconductor fabrication provides an unprecedented opportunity: to merge these mature processes with quantum functionalities and establish solid-state platforms as a scalable basis for quantum technologies. \nSolid-state QIP has therefore become one of the most dynamic areas of Quantum Science and Technology. Progress is being made across a spectrum of approaches\, including: \n\nSuperconducting Qubits\,\nSemiconductor Spin Qubits\,\nDefect- and Dopant-Based Spin Qubits\,\nHybrid Architectures.\n\nTogether\, these solid-state platforms are advancing toward robust elementary operations\, quantum error correction\, on-chip networking\, and integration with classical control electronics. \nThe goal of this workshop is to bring together leading scientists and emerging researchers from across these diverse approaches. By sharing recent results\, identifying common challenges—such as decoherence\, materials engineering\, and scalable integration—and exploring new ideas\, we aim to foster collaborations that will drive the next phase of solid-state quantum information processing. The program will feature invited and contributed talks\, as well as poster presentations\, providing ample opportunities for both established and early-career researchers to engage\, exchange insights\, and build new connections.

SUMMARY:The 17th IEEE Workshop on Low-Temperature Electronics
DESCRIPTION:The recent progress in cryogenics technologies\, along with the increasing interest in space-based communication\, gives a new light to low temperature electronics. The increasing interest in quantum technologies and nanodevices\, most of which need low temperatures\, are envisaged as the traditional area of interest of the WOLTE community. \nThis workshop series has a consistent policy of holding no parallel sessions. Therefore\, its program is comprised of single technical sessions. This gives a unique opportunity to stimulate discussions among all the participants traditionally coming from a variety of semiconductor and superconductor-related research fields. Following its tradition of receptiveness to the emerging research field\, the 17th edition of WOLTE\, along with the traditional semiconducting and superconducting low temperature electronics\, will include new topics on quantum technologies. Industrial and technological applications will receive particular attention in a dedicated and attractive exhibition area.

SUMMARY:Sponsored Quantum Fringe 2026 event: Authentication for Quantum Networks
DESCRIPTION:Authentication for Quantum Networks is a two‑day workshop bringing together researchers from quantum communications\, classical cryptography\, theory\, experiment\, and industry to explore the authentication requirements that underpin secure quantum communication and future quantum networks. \nAlthough QKD is often presented as providing information‑theoretic security\, every QKD system depends on an authenticated classical channel. The details of how authentication is achieved\, what resources it requires\, and what level of security it offers are not always widely discussed within the quantum community. In light of recent scrutiny from organisations such as NCSC and NSA\, there is a growing need for clearer understanding across the field. \nThe workshop aims to provide this broader perspective. The programme will combine accessible introductory tutorials with more technical talks\, contributions from experimental groups working on authentication for QKD\, and insights from industry on practical deployment. A poster session will give PhD students\, postdocs\, and other researchers an opportunity to present their work and engage with the community.

SUMMARY:Padua Space Quantum Information Workshop 2026
DESCRIPTION:Padua SQI26 is to bring together researchers and technologists interested in proposing or realizing experiments of quantum science in space\, or to develop instruments or technology aimed to operate in space or along free-space links as validators or proofs of concept. The domain is broad: fundamental tests\, space-based science\, quantum sensing & PNT\, computing\, and communication\, plus a session on industrial support. \nThe idea is to work together to envisage the most promising and advanced satellite\, ground station\, links concepts and functionalities to aim at meaningful and realistic experiments or realization of quantum information protocols in space or between space and ground networks. \nParticipants shall contribute with ideas and possible solutions\, seeking for potential synergies with others to enhance the impact and the concreteness of a proposal\, in order to make it suitable for being proposed to an Agency for its realization. \nThe following topics (non-exhaustive) are within the scope of the workshop: \n\nSpace-based Fundamental Physics utilising Quantum Technologies and/or probing Quantum Effects\nSatellite entanglement distribution and distributed quantum information processing\nMultipoint space quantum communications\nSpace-based Quantum Cryptography and Quantum Communications beyond QKD\nQuantum Sensing/PNT utilising Space Assets\nSpace-based experiments with quantum memories/repeaters\nSpace-based experiments with different physical systems: ensemble cold-atom systems\, neutral atoms/ions\, superconducting\, solid state quantum\nQuantum Technologies for Space-based Science
