Summer School PQC 2026
Physics of Quantum Chips (PQC 2026) – 01/07- 08/07 2026 – University of Gdańsk, Gdańsk, Poland
What is the school about?
Quantum chips comprise quantum elements such as Josephson junctions, quantum dots containing single electrons, and resonators operating in the regime of few photons. We would like to invite you to the second edition of the school Physics of Quantum Chips (see here for the first edition).
Topics will include
- description of superconducting qubits and circuits
- acoustic qubits
- sub-Kelvin thermometry – precise and fast measurements of the temperature of quantum devices
- microscopic picture of Josephson junctions (Andreev bound states)
- quantum hybrid devices – Josephson junctions with quantum dots
- how experimentalists access and control qubits
- Quantum Hall effect
Within the Quantum Hall effect topic, the KWANT software will be presented for simulations of quantum many-body systems.
Who might find it interesting?
This school is intended for participants with a basic understanding of quantum mechanics and quantum solid-state physics. We welcome individuals at all stages of their scientific careers—from Master’s students and PhD candidates to postdoctoral researchers and established scientists.
In particular, the school may be interesting for:
- Researchers with a background in theoretical quantum information or quantum thermodynamics who wish to explore how these ideas are physically implemented on solid-state platforms.
- Researchers in materials science who are curious about quantum devices fabricated from these materials and how they operate.
- Researchers in electronics interested in pushing the boundaries of their field into the quantum realm.
The costs
- Conference fee for participant (including lunches): 0 EUR (The registration fee is paid by NAWA)
- Accommodation and travel costs are on the participant. The organizers has no possibility to consider any financial support for participants travel or accommodation.
Deadlines
- Registration open until April 19, 2026
- Notification of acceptance: May 4, 2026
