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 working on different hardware
promote interaction between those experts
advance early career researchers
2026 Focus: Bosonic error-correcting codes & novel qubits
2026 Focus: Bosonic error-correcting codes & novel qubits
BBQ is a leading forum for world experts on novel qubits and bosonic error-correcting codes. The field has seen rapid theoretical and experimental progress in continuous-variable computation and new ways to encode, control, and protect logical qubits.
