BBQ Workshop Philosophy
The BBQ Workshop is a focused workshop that brings together leading researchers and early career experts to discuss progress and solve problems in a specific area. Typically, the workshop is intentionally informal to encourage collaboration between participants. We can learn from each other and use our collective expertise to identify and solve interesting problems.
The three primary goals of BBQ:
bring together experts in the field in a setting that promotes interaction
put this expertise to use to solve problems
advance early career researchers

2023 Focus: Bosonic Error-Correction & Novel Qubits
This year we're excited to bring together world experts on novel qubits and bosonic error-correcting codes.
Since the last BBQ Workshop, 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.

COVID guidelines
We strongly recommend for all attendees:
Being vaccinated and having had all available boosters
Regularly taking an at-home antigen test
Avoiding in-person participation if you experience symptoms and/or test positive for COVID-19
While masking is not mandatory we do recommend wearing a well-fitting mask during meeting activities
We reserve the right to mandate masking during the conference when the CDC transmission rate is “high” in Boulder county
