Syncretism
The meeting runs in parallel with the astroparticle conference Syncretism 2026, sharing a joint plenary session on “Quantum information, observables and technologies for fundamental physics" and social gatherings.
About
The conference explores the theme of quantum interfaces, bringing together researchers working in quantum devices, quantum information, quantum optics, material science, condensed-matter physics, and related areas. Our aim is to bring together communities that do not naturally meet, and to foster a dialogue and conceptual syncretism between distinct approaches to quantum matter, devices, and information.
POSTER SUBMISSION INVITATION
A poster session will be organized during the meeting. Researchers interested in presenting their work are invited to submit a title and abstract to [email protected].
