Quantum Information Seminar
Time and Place: (Mon|Tue) 16:00-18:00, MC 1.84 and on Zoom
This seminar features presentations and discussions by and with group members and guests, with a focus on topics of current research. As of this summer 2023, It is organized jointly with the group of Mario Szegedy at Rutgers. Select recordings are available on YouTube 🍿.
Attendance of Master’s and PhD students who have taken a first course in quantum information, computing, or similar is warmly welcome – please get in touch for more information, or simply come by and join us!
