Building on the momentum of the three-part event in 2024, Living in a Quantum World, this second workshop on quantum science and technologies will explore the latest breakthroughs and emerging trends across quantum computing, communication, sensing, and materials. Quantum technologies are rapidly transitioning from theoretical constructs to practical tools, with real-world impact in secure communications, advanced computation, and ultra-sensitive measurements. By bringing together leading researchers with early-career scientists, the workshop aims to foster collaboration and map out the scientific and technological frontiers that will define the next phase of the quantum revolution.
