Where: Tulane University, New Orleans, LA
Diboll Gallery (Suite # 300), Malkin Sacks Commons
When: Monday April 20, 2026
Ryan T. Glasser of Tulane and Peter Bierhorst of UNO, along with Ivan Agullo and Justin Wilson of LSU are excited to announce that the eighteenth QuILT (Quantum Information Technologies in Louisiana) Day will take place on Monday, April 20, 2026 at Tulane!
Researchers from around Louisiana and surrounding areas will be joining together for a day of quantum information (and related!) presentations, with the goal of fostering future collaborations, and expanding Louisiana's research effort in quantum sciences and technology.
All talks are scheduled for 30 minutes (25 minutes + 5 minutes for questions). A projector is available for presentations during these lectures. All talks will be given in Diboll Gallery (Suite #300 in the Malkin Sacks Commons); scroll to the bottom for a map locating this building on the Tulane campus. Paid parking is available at the Diboll Garage (not as close to the QuILT day location as the name would suggest) or closer at the garage on Loyola's campus.
