UTC Quantum Technology Workshop

UTC's first international quantum workshop, the inaugural Quantum Workshop brought together experts on various aspects of quantum research ranging from computing, simulation, algorithm-building to sensing and communications in June of 2025. We believe Quantum is the future, and take opportunities like these to focus on key open questions in the field and draw strong connections to foundational research while exploring their potential applications to industries. Explore below for more information on our speakers, participants, and partners—and stay tuned for 2026!
