SUMMARY:Q-Expo 2026
DESCRIPTION:Q-Expo is growing alongside the quantum industry. Following the success of our 2025 edition\, which brought together nearly 800 delegates from across the globe\, the 2026 expo in Bilbao marks our most ambitious event to date. \nFor 2026\, Q-Expo introduces a fully integrated two-day format where the Exhibition and Plenary Sessions run in harmony across both days. This dynamic structure maximises visibility for exhibitors\, increases attendee engagement\, and creates continuous opportunities for high-value networking. \nExplore cutting-edge quantum solutions\, meet leading technology providers\, and connect with end-users\, investors\, researchers\, policymakers\, and innovators from across the quantum ecosystem. \nThroughout both days\, plenary keynotes and panel discussions are seamlessly embedded into the programme — ensuring strong audience flow between the exhibition floor and the conference stage\, and giving speakers and exhibitors equal opportunity to shine.

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
