QUPosium2024

The 3rd International Symposium on Quantum-field Measurement Systems for Studies of the Universe, Particles, and Other Applications (QUPosium2024) will be held December 9-11, 2024 in Tsukuba, Japan. The event is hosted by WPI-QUP, a World Premier International Center at High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) promoted by the Japanese government.

QUPosium2024 aims to bring together leading experts and researchers to discuss the most exciting developments and exchange ideas towards discovering novel quantum fields using quantum sensing approaches and technologies. The symposium will provide a venue to identify overlaps in methodologies and research directions, as well as synergy of efforts to produce new academic and social values. 

Invited plenary speakers will introduce big questions and methods to address them in their research areas, as well as cutting-edge research results and new directions. Limited number of contributed talks discussing new research results on related topics will be presented. Symposium participants, especially early career researchers, will also have opportunity to present posters of their research. Posters will be displayed around the venue throughout the symposium and will be accessible from the timetable webpage. 

The symposium is open to researchers and students in related fields. Participant registration is required, there is no registration fee (banquet participation is charged).
