Join us on the campus of Berkeley Lab for NERSC Quantum Days.

NERSC Quantum Days

Date

November 7 - 8, 2024

Location

Berkeley, CA

NERSC is proud to host the 2024 Quantum Days meeting. After two previous successful editions in 2022 and 2023, this third edition will continue to offer a broad spectrum of speakers from national labs, industry, and academia to discuss the latest advancements and research in the fields of quantum computing (QC) and quantum information science (QIS), and their benefit to high performance computing (HPC). This year’s event will also include presentations on the Quantum @ NERSC program, including the QIS @ Perlmutter program and the just announced Quantum Computing Access @ NERSC (QCAN) program.

New for this year is the opportunity to submit a contributed oral or poster presentation.

Invited Speakers

Marwa Farag, NVIDIA
Mark Hirsbrunner, University of Toronto
Travis Humble, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Sunggon Kim, Seoul National University of Science and Technology
Milan Kornjača, QuEra Computing
Osama Raisuddin, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Gokul Ravi, University of Michigan
Mohan Sarovar, Sandia National Laboratories
Teague Tomesh, Infleqtion
Ed Younis, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
