This symposium builds on the 2024 FTPP Annual International AI Plasma Physics Conference (AIAPC) – AI-Informed Plasma Physics: the Opportunities, held in Huntsville, Alabama, October 28–30, 2024. This year, we take the conversation in a new direction: the intersection of plasma science and quantum science.

A New Frontier

The meeting point of plasma physics and quantum processes opens new opportunities for both fields. From using quantum entanglement to diagnose plasmas to studying extreme plasma states where quantum and electromagnetic processes are equally important, researchers can now explore plasma physics in entirely new regimes.

Join Us

Future Technologies and Enabling Plasma Processes (FTPP), in partnership with the Strategic Plasma Innovation Network (SPI-NET), invites you to a free, one-day virtual symposium:

Connecting Plasma Science and Quantum Science
Friday, January 22, 2027 · 10:00–15:00 US Central Time
(08:00 US Pacific · 17:00 Central European Time)

Because the meeting is fully online, colleagues from around the world can take part without travel. There is no registration fee, but all attendees must register.
