QTYR 2026

QTYR26, the Quantum Technologies for Young Researchers workshop, is a conference designed specifically for scientists in the early stages of their careers working in various branches of Quantum Science. This workshop offers a unique opportunity for postdocs, PhD, and Master’s students to share their research in a supportive and inclusive environment. On top of this, the event features a series of invited talks by renowned experts in the field, providing invaluable insights and networking opportunities.

The program covers a wide range of topics in Quantum Science, from quantum computing and quantum information to quantum optics, quantum communication and cryptography, quantum hardware, and quantum machine learning. It includes keynote speeches, contributed talks, poster presentations, an industry focus session, and a panel discussion on the role of companies in quantum technologies.

QTYR26 is organized by the PhD and Young Scientists in Quantum Technologies Network (PYSQT) and falls under the umbrella of the Official Interuniversity Master’s Degree in Quantum Technologies created by CSIC and various Spanish universities.

The workshop will be held in Valencia from 22nd to 26th of June 2026 at the EDEM University Centre, The place is in a privileged location in the Port of Valencia, with direct access to the Mediterranean Sea, very good connections with the city centre and all sorts of cultural activities.
