The meeting aims to foster collaboration between the research communities of the Basque Country and Bordeaux on the topic of quantum algorithms. It will bring together specialists from both sides of the border, with diverse backgrounds in physics, chemistry, computer science, and mathematics. The first edition of the meeting was held in 2025.
The meeting will feature short and long talks, as well as poster presentations. Submissions should be made via the registration form.
Organisers: Javier Aizpurua, Matthieu Saubanère, Yassine Hamoudi
Venue
The meeting will be held at Hôtel Le Bayonne in downtown Bayonne, France (1.5km from the train station). Location on Google Maps.
