Workshop Philosophy
Workshop Philosophy
Byron Bay Quantum (BBQ) is a focused workshop that brings together leading researchers and early career experts to discuss progress and problems in a specific area. The workshop is typically informal to encourage collaboration between participants.
The three primary goals of BBQ:
bring together experts in different fields in a setting that promotes interaction
put this expertise to use to solve problems
advance early career researchers
2025 Focus: Bosonic error-correcting codes & novel qubits
2025 Focus: Bosonic error-correcting codes & novel qubits
This year we're excited to bring together world experts on novel qubits and bosonic error-correcting codes. We've seen exciting advances in the field of continuous-variable quantum computation and bosonic error-correcting codes, both theoretically and experimentally. Similarly, novel ways to encode, manipulate, and correct logical qubits have seen increasing theoretical and experimental attention.
