The MCQST-Technion Symposium on Quantum Science and Technology will take place on 25 - 27 November 2019 at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. The event is organized by MCQST together with the Russell Berrie Nano Technology Institute (RBNI), the Helen Diller Quantum Center at Technion, and the German Technion Society (DTG). The symposium is funded by the Reinhard Frank Foundation.

The event features top international researchers working in various areas of quantum science and technology. Alongside talks that will address current topics in the field, the symposium will include MCQST lab tours for guests, a poster session and a panel discussion on platforms for quantum computing.
