The Institute of Applied Sciences and Intelligent Systems, together with the Institute of Optics, is organizing the Quantum Highlights for Young Researchers workshop. The event will take place at the CNR Area di Ricerca in Pozzuoli (Naples) on 28 November 2025, and aims to foster engaging discussions among young researchers in quantum science and technology. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with invited experts and international guests working in the field.
The event is organized with the support of NQSTI Spoke 9, in collaboration with the Department of Physics of the University of Naples Federico II, and within the framework of the celebration of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025 (IYQ2025).
Participation is free of charge. However, due to limited space, registration is required:
