Description
The year 2025 has been designated as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology to raise awareness and foster global collaboration in this rapidly advancing field. The goal of the conference is to bring researchers in the state of Ohio together to communicate the recent progress in quantum science, and to initiate collaborations between researchers from major institutions in Ohio, such as the Ohio State University, Kent State University, Case Western Reserve University, University of Cincinnati, Ohio University, Air Force Institute of Technology, and Air Force Research Laboratory in Dayton. 

This 2-day conference will take place at the Physics Department of The Ohio State University, during Oct. 9-10, 2025. It will cover a range of topics in quantum science, such as quantum materials, quantum dynamics, quantum sensing and quantum computation.
