General Information

Organizers: 

The seminars are scheduled biweekly on Tuesdays of each month, from September to June; the default start time is 16:00 (Ukraine time, EET/EEST), though sometimes it may differ, depending on the speaker’s time zone. Recommended language is English. Recommended duration for the talk is about 60 min plus up to 40 min of Q&A.

Motivation

The host city for the Quantum Seminar is Kharkiv, where we have a number of research institutions and universities with many researchers actively working in the field of quantum science and technology. The aims of the seminar are the following: to bring together Ukrainian and foreign scientists, specialists in Quantum Physics; to sustain motivation and enthusiasm of Ukrainian physicists; to motivate and educate the young generation of Ukrainian students and researchers.
