UTC Quantum Center hosting three-day workshop next week

More than 20 featured speakers from across academia, national laboratories and industry are expected to participate.

Quantum, quantum everywhere, at least in Chattanooga.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) will welcome internationally recognized scientists, researchers, and industry leaders for a three-day event aimed at exploring how quantum systems can help shape the future of computing, sensing, simulation and communication.

The Quantum Technology Workshop, hosted June 23-25 at UTC’s Multi-Disciplinary Research Building, is presented by the Quantum Center at the UTC Research Institute (UTCRI). Workshop sessions will explore a wide range of quantum topics, including algorithm development, hardware challenges, simulation techniques and near-term applications in industry.

More than 20 featured speakers from across academia, national laboratories and industry are expected to participate, with participants representing institutions such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory, IBM, Harvard University, the University of Waterloo, Hamburg University, TVA, and four quantum companies—including IonQ. UTC researchers and graduate students will also present posters and host lab tours during the event.
