Welcome to DigiQ Lisbon Summer School + AQT outreach !
Lisbon, 8 to 11 June 2026
This event is destined to DigiQ students and the main goal is to gather the students together to learn about the latest advances in quantum technologies, directly from those that make them come true.
You will have the opportunity to learn about entanglement-based quantum communications, metrology with atom interferometers and quantum computing. Join us in warm Lisbon and take the oppportunity to learn about quantum technologies during one of the most festive periods of the city!
Applications are open. Register at DigiQ Lisbon Summer School.
