On April 10, Dr. Paul Sparks of the US Army Future Commands will be visiting EPFL to discuss opportunities for funding and collaboration. If you would like to participate in this visit, please contact the QSE Center at philippe.caroff@epfl.ch.

On April 29, SMYLE FEMTO will be visiting EPFL researchers with a delegation of FEMTO ST researchers to encourage bilateral collaborations. If you would like to be a part of this visit, please contact the QSE Center at philippe.caroff@epfl.ch. Please note: FEMTO ST has some seed funding programs that could be tailored to collaborations.

The QSE Center will select one student participant to cover their travel expenses to the NYUAD Quantum Hackathon in Abu Dhabi from April 25-28, 2024, as part of the Open Quantum Institute of GESDA. Application deadline 15.03.2024

The main objective of this call for projects is to support organisations as they develop quantum technologies that outperform or accelerate existing technologies and contribute to solving problems relevant to industry, science and society. Deadline: May 9, 2024

These awards aim to attract and empower excellent female students who will conduct their master’s project in the research areas represented at the QSE Center. The awardee will receive 8,000 CHF paid to them directly. External applicants are eligible for up to an additional 2,000 CHF for travel expenses. Deadline: June 1, 2024

XPRIZE Quantum Applications is a 3-year, $5M global competition designed to generate quantum computing (QC) algorithms that can be put into practice to help solve real-world challenges.XPRIZE Quantum Applications is made possible thanks to the generous support of title sponsor Google Quantum AI, with funding from Google.org, and presenting partner the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) Foundation.

The Unitary Fund give $4k cash grants to quantum tech projects. Project could be open source quantum sofware, education materials and workshops, a new quantum sensor prototype, or much more. Please reach out to Nathan Shammah, who presented at the QSE Seminar Series. 

On March 5, Vincenzo Savona and Philippe Caroff from the QSE Center joined the launch of the Open Quantum Institute in Geneva. The three-year pilot will build on the efforts to date to help unleash the full power of quantum computing for the benefit of all.
