Invited Keynote Talks
The workshop will feature two keynote presentations by leading researchers:
Prof. dr. ir. Lieven Vandersypen
Lieven Vandersypen received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University (2001), where he famously demonstrated Shor's quantum algorithm for finding the prime factors of fifteen. Since 2006, he has been Antoni van Leeuwenhoek professor at TU Delft, where he leads a group that pioneered quantum computing based on electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots. His work focuses on devising novel building blocks for large-scale quantum dot spin qubit processors. Prof. Vandersypen has received Starting, Synergy and Advanced grants from the European Research Council, and is a fellow of the American Physical Society. He is a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and received the Spinoza Prize, the highest scientific award in the Netherlands.
Keynote Speaker II
The second keynote speaker will be announced shortly.
Accepted Posters
The accepted contributions will be presented during the designated poster sessions throughout the day. Poster presenters may mount their posters in the morning, and posters remain accessible throughout all coffee and lunch breaks.
