Mark your calendar on Friday, 17 April 2026, for the UCPH Quantum Hub Annual Meeting.
UCPH Quantum Hub provides a framework for cross-departmental and cross-faculty collaboration as well as a window for students to see the full range of quantum research and education across the university. We hope everyone, from bachelor students to professors who are working with quantum or are interested in hearing more about quantum, will come to join us and be part of the UCPH Quantum Hub. Come join the talks - and bring your own research to the poster session.
