The Summer School is financed by funding agency: the National Agency for Academic Exchange – the Program “Strategic partnership”

General information about the PQChips 2026 August

1.  The name Summer School PQChips 2026 August means the international Summer School on “Physics of Quantum Chips” for individuals at all stages of their scientific careers—from Master’s students and PhD candidates to postdocs and established researchers.

2.  The aim of the PQChips 2026 August is to promote and increase knowledge on mesoscopic physics and it applications.
3.  All information regarding will be provided on the PQChips 2026 August website: School Physics of Quantum Chips (PQC) – Project KlaR: Gdańsk-Lund Cluster: Quantum Development Potential, funded by NAWA Strategic Partnerships

This school is intended for participants with a basic understanding of quantum mechanics and quantum solid-state theory. We welcome individuals at all stages of their scientific careers—from Master’s students and PhD candidates to postdocs and established researchers.

Regarding researchers, this school is ideal for:

• Those 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 material science, curious about the quantum devices created from these materials and how they function.
• Researchers in electronics, interested in pushing the boundaries of their field into the quantum realm.

4.  There is a limit of 32 participants.  The organizers reserve the right to increase the limit in justified circumstances.
