Quantum Technologies and Sustainability Seminar Series

Research and innovation in the context of climate change

With perspectives from both physicists and philosophers, this interdisciplinary series will address recent research on quantum technologies (QTs). Seminars will explore the significance of climate change for quantum innovation, address how QTs can be applied in different sectors for sustainability and discuss how we can minimize the environmental impact of quantum technologies. All sessions will take place online, please use the registration link or QR code below to sign-up.

Organized by Dr. Dakota Root and Professor Amélie Favreau within TIQuA at the Université Grenoble Alpes.

We look forward to your participation!
