And that's a wrap! Thank you everyone who came down and helped the event be such a success. Of course a special congratulations to Holly Caskie for putting together such an incredible event! See you next year at BQIT:27 (26th - 28th April 2027)
QET Labs
@qetlabs.bsky.social
Quantum Engineering Technologies Labs (QET Labs) based at the University of Bristol, UK. QET Labs is a world-leading centre for the creation and development of new quantum technologies.
Some great discussions at the second poster session of the conference - stay tuned to find out the winning posters at this year's BQIT!
We warmly welcomed RedWave Labs as a new sponsor to BQIT:26 this year. RedWave Labs are particularly focussed on control electronics for spectroscopy and all quantum technologies, including solutions for encryption, sensing and single photon detection. Read more here: www.redwavelabs.com
It's been brilliant hosting BQIT:26 sponsors, IDQuantique, for another year in Bristol. By advancing quantum networking, sensing, and security, IDQuantique build the trusted foundations that enable scalable quantum computing and resilient digital infrastructure. Read more: idquantique.com
Last talks session of day 2 starting now! Head into the events space / tune in online to hear from Maria Chekova from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light
'Why haven't more quantum algorithms been found?' - 🗣️ Peter Shor: head along to Yudai Suzuki's talk to find out why!
Following some engaging and productive small group discussions as part of our EDI session, our BQIT attendees are networking over a delicious selection of lunch options. Not quite as sunny a as yesterday but still making the most of the great view from the balcony of @wethecurious.bsky.social
Our EDI panel is now in progress - lots of insightful questions being asked! Virtual attendees are welcomed to submit questions to the Q&A Slido online
Day 2 of BQIT is officially underway! Session 5 of talks has been kicked off with some fantastic speakers, both in-person and virtual. At 11.15 we have an exciting line-up of panellists for our Equity, Diversion & Inclusion session - stay tuned for that!
