Monday, February 25, 2019
8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Charles B. Wang Center, 100 Nicolls Road, Stony Brook, NY 11794
The goal of this Quantum Immersion Workshop was to
build a Quantum Information Science (QIS) community of researchers at
Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory.
This workshop showcased State of the Art Research in QIS and
provided a forum to discuss opportunities to engage in QIS research.
