LEARN QUANTUM INFORMATION

Master Quantum Information ; Sorbonne University opens a master program dedicated to Quantum Information in Paris! This program is supported by the Quantum Information Center Sorbonne (QICS), the Computer Science Master Department, and Physics Master Department. Experts from Sorbonne Université labs (LIP6LKBINSPINRIA, etc.) will be part of this program divided into two main specialties the 1st year (computer science and physics) and with a joint course the second year.

Scientific mediation in quantum information ; the objective of this short training course is to give, to PhD students working in one of the thematics of quantum information, the keys to answer easily these questions to the widest possible audience. This training course offers them the opportunity to collaborate all together. Thanks to this transdisciplinarity and cooperation, they also complete their knowledge, transmit it and create new joint projects.

SMALL SEMINAR OF THE QICS 
...accessible only to PhD students and post-doc

Our second small seminar, the new monthly event done for them, by them and only between them, will be on July the 7th !
The purpose of this monthly event is to bring together doctoral and post-doctoral students working on diverse and varied thematics of quantum information in order to discover their very wide range, from core thematics to related subjects. Through this interdisciplinarity, they will be able, on the one hand, to complete and share their knowledge, and on the other hand, to bring out collaborations and joint projects. More information here
