Place: LIV Student (Barcelona)
8th International Conference for Young Quantum Information Scientists (YQIS25)
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
YQIS is a conference series created by young researchers for young researchers.
Hosted this year by the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Barcelona, it invites PhD students and early-career researchers to present their latest work and forge new collaborations.
Covering the full spectrum of quantum information—from foundations, correlations, and thermodynamics to cryptography, communications, algorithms, machine learning, computing, and cutting-edge quantum technologies — YQIS provides a forum to foster scientific exchange among young researchers.
Launched in 2013 through the vision of Alain Aspect and Sébastien Tanzilli, the conference remains dedicated to giving the next generation of scientists a prominent stage. Join us in Barcelona in 2025, the year of Quantum, to exchange ideas, expand your network, and help shape the future of quantum information science.
Previous editions feature YQIS6 hosted by the FRIB/NSCL at Michigan State University in 2021, and YQIS24 - the 7th edition of the conference series - hosted by INRIA in Paris.
REGISTRATION
