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
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.
