Quantum Information Technologies in Louisiana Day

Mark M. Wilde of LSU, Ryan T. Glasser of Tulane, and Peter Bierhorst of UNO, are excited to announce the sixth QuILT (Quantum Information Technologies in Louisiana) day, which will take place at Louisiana State University on Tuesday, March 10, 2020. All lectures will be held in the theater on the first floor of the Louisiana Digital Media Center. A projector is available for presentations during these lectures.

Researchers from around Louisiana and surrounding areas will be joining together for a day of quantum information (and related!) presentations, with the goal of fostering future collaborations, and expanding Louisiana's research effort in quantum sciences and technology.

We look forward to seeing you there!
