Event Description
The University of Pennsylvania’s QUIEST Center is thrilled to be hosting its second annual Forum on Quantum Systems: Penn FoQuS 2025! Building upon the success of the Center’s inaugural Penn FoQuS event held in May 2024 (read a recap of this event here), we are excited to further expand our programming beyond last year’s schedule to include more opportunities for open-ended conversations, panel discussions, industry tradeshow demos, and more to come. We will once again be bringing in speakers from academia, industry, and government to participate in this event, in order to build connections between researchers, to raise awareness about regional, national, and international efforts in QUIEST, and to help guide research and education priorities for the QUIEST center.
The symposium will be broadly organized around the QUIEST research domains:
Materials for QUIEST – Synthesis, characterization, and optimization of materials for the storage, manipulation, or transduction of quantum information.
Quantum Devices – Design and realization of new quantum processors, quantum sensors, and quantum interconnects, especially in combination with integrated electronics and photonics architectures.
Quantum Systems – Theory of quantum information processing, new architectures for intermediate-scale and fault-tolerant quantum processors, and quantum networking.
QUIEST Impact – Optimization and application of quantum sensors for materials science, chemistry, biology, and medicine; the use of quantum computers for materials design and data science.
Featured speakers for this event will include (additional speakers will be added live):
- Victor Acosta (University of New Mexico)
- Mauricio Terrones (Penn State University)
- Ryan Hadt (Caltech)
- Brandon Mitchell (West Chester University)
