Among the topics discussed in the conference section session “Quantum Science and Technology” will be solutions for quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensors and quantum materials, as well as their potential impact on information processing, security, medicine and industry. The section brings together researchers, engineers and innovators, promoting the exchange of knowledge between fundamental science and technological development. Special attention will be dedicated to interdisciplinary cooperation, future applications and the role of quantum technologies in solving global challenges. The latest scientific achievements will be presented at the conference, including the newest research from the European Union Recovery Fund–financed project “Quantum Technology Initiative.”
The event will take place on April 15, 2026, from 9:00 to 15:00 at the University of Latvia House of Science, Jelgavas iela 3, Room 501.
The working language of the session is English.
Participation is free of charge.
Registration is open until April 11 on the conference website.
