Atoms&Defects

22-25 September 2025

Atoms & Defects workshop schedule

Scope of the workshop

The Atom&Defects workshop will bring together leading researchers for a lively discussion on novel developments in quantum sensing and quantum simulation. The scientific program is organized around 15 invited talks in selected topics of ultracold atom and color center based quantum technologies. Young researchers are strongly encouraged to participate and will be given the opportunity to present contributed talks or posters.

Join us for the Atom&Defects Qubits workshop hosted in part by the EU-funded QuMicro project. This event will bring together leading researchers—ranging from students and postdocs to senior experts—to explore the latest breakthroughs and emerging challenges in optically addressable qubits, including atoms and artificial atoms such as the nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond and related point defects in solids.
