We're excited to share that applications are now open for the third edition of the Foundations of Quantum Computing (FQC2025) workshop, organised by the Quantum Software Lab and Royal Holloway, University of London, happening at the University of Edinburgh from 16–18 June 2025.
Our goal is to exchange ideas, share insights, and foster collaborations on the fundamental aspects of quantum computing by bringing together researchers who may not otherwise come together in a small conference.
The workshop is discussion-oriented, with invited long talks from leading experts in quantum foundations and quantum computing. This year's themes are: "Models of quantum computing and resources" and "Foundations of quantum tomography."
Here's our amazing speaker lineup, with more to be announced:
Hans Briegel, University of Innsbruck
Sitan Chen, Harvard University
Richard Josza, University of Cambridge
Elham Kashefi, The University of Edinburgh, and Sorbonne Université
Viv Kendon, University of Strathclyde
Paolo Perinotti, Università di Pavia
Matthew Pusey, University of York
Hjalmar Rall, Technical University of Munich
Rüdiger Schack, Royal Holloway, University of London
