Quantum Days 2024

November 7, 2024

NERSC is proud to host the 2024 Quantum Days meeting. After two previous successful editions in 2022 and 2023, this 3rd 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

The event will take place on November 7 and 8, 2024 at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center located at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. New for this year is the opportunity to submit a contributed presentation.
