Program Schedule
The Quantum Device Workshop will be held from May 19th to May 22nd at UCLA.
There will also be an option for online attendance as well.
The content of the workshop can be found below. There will be 3-4 speakers each day.
You can find a detailed schedule for each track here. Assignment to speaker to time slots are subject to change until May 1st.
