FQC2025
Join us on June 16-18, 2025
Welcome to the third workshop on Foundations of Quantum Computing!
We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners at the intersection of quantum computing and quantum foundations. The goal is to exchange ideas, share insights, and foster collaborations on the fundamental aspects of quantum computing by bringing together researchers who may not otherwise come together in a small discussion-oriented workshop. We hope you enjoy this exciting and stimulating event.
Useful information
Application process: There will be an application and a later registration stage, due to the limited number of available spots. After the application stage, all accepted participants must complete their registration and pay the required fee.
Registration fee: A modest registration fee will be charged to help cover the event’s expenses. The exact amount will be announced here shortly.
Accommodation: A limited number of shared and single rooms at
Chancellors Court is available free of charge for the duration of the event (June 15-18, 3 nights), with priority given to PhD students and young researchers who lack sufficient funding to cover the costs of attending the workshop. Applicants requesting accommodation are asked to provide a brief justification in the application form. All other participants are expected to arrange their own accommodation independently.
Program
This year's edition of FQC will focus on the following topics:
