July 2, 2024: MIRAQLS Discord channel and MIRAQLS LinkedIn group are created following received feedback from the students at the MIRAQLS meeting event in Warsaw. Students are enthusiastic about strengthening the connections made at the school, with many collaboration ideas overheard during their discussions. Way to go team!

June 23-28, 2024: MIRAQLS summer school in Warsaw was a resounding success! 5-days filled with lectures from leading academic and industrial leaders including MIRAQLS members Fabio Pezzoli, Animesh Datta, Cristina Benea-Chelmus, Jérôme Faist, Stéphane Kéna-Cohen, Oussama Moutanabbir; technology and career presentations; technology panel discussion; icebreaking sessions; student posters with flash presentations and poster prize winners; group dinners and sightseeing; and of course -- MIRAQLS-wide in-person meeting -- largest yet! Successful event skillfully organized by Michał Karpiński and the local team at the University of Warsaw and with program committee of Antonio Fernández Domínguez, Johannes Feist, Fabio Pezzoli and Denis Seletskiy. Team MIRAQLS is getting stronger!

June 21, 2024: Project review reporting 18-month progress in front of EU and Canadian program managers and 3 external reviewers. Reviewers are impressed by the progress and make insightful suggestions on how to improve the operations -- Thank you!

March 23, 2024: 18-month online review meeting was very engaging, with many original results from both intra- and inter-work-package collaborations. The team is starting to get visibly stronger!

October 23-24, 2023: The MIRAQLS consortium meets in online format. Advances were reviewed, challenges and new pathways for the project discussed. We offcially welcome Michał Karpiński and the UWAW group into our team.

June 1, 2023: "Fundamental limits of pulsed quantum light spectroscopy: Dipole moment estimation" by Animesh Datta and co-workers published in PRA as Editor's Suggestion.

March 27-28, 2023: 6-month review meeting The MIRAQLS consortium meets in hybrid format (online-onsite) in Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). Advances were reviewed, challenges and new pathways for the project discussed. Links among groups were strengthened, new collaborations emerged. Very productive meeting!
