Background

Quantum Science and Technologies

nanoGateway International Conference 2019

Witnessing the emergence of new paradigms

Appreciation Message

Dear Participant of the Mission 10.000

Thank you very much for having enriched the International Conference Mission 10.000: Quantum Science & Technologies with your presence and active contribution.

For three days, we welcomed more than 130 participants in an event powered by three Keynote speakers, 16 invited talks, several contributed talks and poster presentations.

We had the opportunity to witness the emergence of new paradigms after 100 years of the birth of quantum physics, the exploration of quantum materials, quantum technologies and quantum information. Moreover, we had the pleasure to attribute two awards for the Best Poster and Best Oral Presentation in this initiative that brought together experts from all over the world.

The International Conference Mission 10.000: Quantum Science & Technologies was a success; it was all possible thanks to your invaluable contribution.

We take this opportunity to share the photos and videos of the event.

Thank you once again, and we look forward to seeing you at the next event!
