Northwestern Quantum Week

INQUIRE invites you to the Northwestern Quantum Week, which will take place between Monday, April 20 and Friday, April 24, 2026 at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL.

Northwestern Quantum Week, convened by INQUIRE and in partnership with Illinois Economic Development Corporation, is devoted to building connections between quantum research scientists, engineers, industry leaders, alumni, investors, and other experts dedicated to quantum discovery, education, and applied innovation. While the Quantum Innovation Symposium will be held annually, the topics will change to reflect new advances, partnerships, and strategies to address the challenges of sustainably scaling useful quantum technology solutions.

• April 20-21: Opening Workshop on Superconducting Qubit Technology for Quantum Computing  [REGISTER HERE]
  The workshop preceding the Quantum Innovation Symposium will bring together scientists and other experts for a series of in-depth technical talks on superconducting qubit technology for quantum computing.

• April 22: Inaugural Quantum Innovation Symposium  [REGISTER HERE]
  The Quantum Innovation Symposium is a new annual event. The symposium fosters collaborative exchange by bringing together senior scientists, engineers, and other quantum innovators, including Northwestern alumni with leadership roles across quantum industry and research sectors.

• April 23-24: The Center for Molecular Quantum Transduction Symposium (CMQT)  [REGISTER HERE]
  The CMQT Symposium is an annual event that enhances communication and collaboration between member research institutions and personnel as well as the broader quantum information community to generate research ideas and accelerate innovation.

This is an excellent opportunity to connect, share ideas, and foster collaborations within the quantum science community. Stay tuned for additional details including speakers, agendas, and registration information.
