5th Quantum Technology Conference


The Technical and Quality Management Directorate of the European Space Agency is pleased to welcome you to join the 5th Quantum Technology Conference on 23 - 25 November.

The Quantum Technology Conference is a virtual event this year, in line with current health and travel guidelines. Registration is free of charge.

Thanks to you, the ESA Quantum Technology Conference has become the reference point and hub for European institutions, space industry, and academia involved in quantum technologies for space—recognised not only for its scientific and engineering excellence, but, also its innovative coverage of policy, commercialisation and institutional perspectives. We aim to facilitate networking among all relevant stakeholders in the field and to identify promising areas of collaboration for the implementation of Quantum Technologies for space applications.

We welcome your contribution to:

• New initiatives and international collaborations
• Quantum community goals
• New strategic challenges
• Technical developments and breakthroughs
• Emerging opportunities, both commercial and institutional

Quantum information processing is a new addition to our topics of quantum sensing, quantum metrology, and quantum cryptography—reflecting latest developments in research and applications to space activities.
