About The Conference
Superconducting Qubits and Algorithms (SQA) is a not-for-profit scientific conference with a focus on science, technology, and algorithms relevant for superconducting quantum computers. It is organized by IQM Quantum Computers, the Technical University of Munich and the Munich Quantum Valley in cooperation with the scientific community. Our goal is to make this the leading event in its field.

F.A.Q.
-
Can I attend without a submission?
Absolutely. We still invite you to submit your talk or poster to discuss it with the scientific community.
-
Do you offer any kind of scholarships?
Actually, we do! The selection of scholarship recipients is based on need and your submission. There is a separate gremium deciding on that.
-
Is the conference on-site or hybrid?
This conference is held on-site only. But we will live stream the conference.
-
What are the rules regarding COVID?
The organizers of the SQA Conference 2023 are taking all measures to make the event safe. Thus, the venue and the partners we have chosen to work with on this event have implemented specific sanitary protocols ensuring the safety of all employees and visitors. We will follow the official German guidelines for large in-person gatherings at the time of the conference.
