Quantum computers hold great promise, but a major impediment to their realization is noise and decoherence. This conference will bring together both experimental and theoretical researchers working on various qubit modalities, i.e., superconducting, semiconducting, trapped ion and Rydberg atom qubits, to understand the microscopic sources of noise and decoherence as well as how they can be overcome. Some of these sources of noise and decoherence also interfere with the sensitivity of detectors of, e.g., gravitational waves, dark matter, etc. We will also have special sessions to discuss the current cutting edge of multi-qubit systems as well as recent breakthroughs and advances in various qubit technologies.
