Plan to attend Quantum West 2026 in San Francisco


Quantum science has made great strides in both providing a deeper understanding of nature and enabling innovative technologies. We are now approaching the exciting possibilities of “Quantum 2.0,” a technology revolution that embraces such phenomena as quantum superposition and entanglement to solve entirely new challenges and provide unique capabilities in large-scale systems. Realizing this potential will require overcoming the hurdles and building the infrastructure necessary to bring promising technology from research through prototype development to achieve robust commercial product solutions.

Quantum West will highlight the future of applied quantum technologies and will provide a forum that addresses the interests of researchers, engineers, tech companies, investors, and governments—all contributors that can bring about a quantum-enabled future.

The 2026 call for papers is open. Explore the conferences to see where your research fits best.
