The CNRS research network "Quantum Technologies" (GdR TeQ) is pleased to organize its second colloquium at the Sorbonne University, from Wednesday 13^nd to Friday 15^th November 2024. 

Deadline for abstract submission: Monday, September 30^th 2024 at 23:59. 
If you don't have a Sciencesconf account, please create one and active it prior to submission: go to the top right icon (to the right of the "Login" icon) and click on "Create account" and follow the procedure.  
Please use the LaTeX template available here to prepare your abstract as an 1-page pdf file. To submit your abstract, first log in to the website by clicking on the "Login" icon, then go to the "Abstract submission" tab. 
As the number of participants in limited, submitting an abstract does not guarantee you a seat. Please do not forget to register. 

Deadline for registration: Sunday, October 20^th 2024 at 23:59. 
The colloquium TeQ#2 will be held on-site only (i.e. no online streaming). The number of participants will be limited to 300 on a first-come first-serve basis.

Please note that, since 2023, the registration procedure has changed. In response to the increase in the number of participants, we are forced to introduce (moderate) registration fees for this year's colloqium. To register, go to the Registration page. 

This year, the colloquium TeQ#2 will start on Wednesday morning by a job fair, jointly organized with the DIM QuanTiP of Ile-de-France. More information and registration link --> here  <---. 

The colloquium will cover the latest developments in quantum technologies, structured along the key research themes of the GdR TeQ:

• Fundamental Quantum Aspects
• Quantum Communications
• Quantum Sensing & Metrology
• Quantum Simulation
• Quantum Processing, Algorithms, and Computing
• Transverse Engineering and Methods

The program will consist in tutorials by internationally recognized experts providing a synthetic focus on specific topics (50' talk +10' questions), invited talks presenting recent advances in the field (25' talk + 5' questions), and two poster sessions. In addition to invited speakers, ~20 poster contributions will be ugraded by the scientific committee as oral presentations.
