W4Q Quantum Science conference

March 23-25, 2026

Auditorium Parc-BIT, Palma de Mallorca, Spain

The W4Q: Quantum Science Conference (Palma de Mallorca, Spain, March 23-25, 2026) brings together cutting-edge research from all areas of quantum physics: from foundations to quantum technology applications.

In the last 4 years of regular meetings, Women 4 Quantum has been growing as a network of senior scientists. We have published our Manifesto of Values (arxiv and Comm. Phys.), shared our reflections in numerous public events, and announced the W4Q association, hosted by Paris Sorbonne.

This year we are launching this international conference to promote scientific excellence through diversity, connect with early-career researchers, and create new lasting international collaborations in quantum science. We aim to offer a welcoming and friendly environment that encourages scientific exchanges. Open to everyone, regardless of gender, we especially encourage young researchers and early career researchers to join us, to get to know our community, to discuss new ideas and to present their research.

Topics: Quantum Optics, Atomic and Molecular Physics, Many Body Quantum Physics, Quantum Information, Quantum Thermodynamics, Quantum Computation and Simulations, Quantum Sensing, Quantum Communications, Foundations and Technological Applications.
Contributions: The conference will comprise talks, posters, and a round table.

Featured talks:

Janet Anders (Universities of Exeter and Potsdam)

Stefanie Barz (IQST, University of Stuttgart)

Pérola Milman (Université Paris Cité, CNRS)

Round table TBA
