IGNITE Co-Organized SpinQubits Workshop in Budapest
IGNITE successfully co-organized the SpinQubits Workshop, a three-day scientific event embedded in the QTech–Budapest Conference. The workshop brought together more than 100 researchers from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances in semiconductor spin qubits.
IGNITE played a key role in shaping the scientific programme, with two IGNITE Principal Investigators serving on the programme committee: András Pályi (Chair) and Guido Burkard. The programme featured plenary, invited, and contributed talks, as well as a poster session.
Plenary lectures were delivered by Andrea Morello (UNSW, Sydney) and IGNITE coordinator Menno Veldhorst. The invited speaker lineup included world-leading experts in spin qubits, from within IGNITE—such as Georgios Katsarosand Ferdinand Kuemmeth—as well as prominent external speakers from universities, research institutes, and industry.
The workshop strongly supported IGNITE’s dissemination and networking goals, enabling knowledge exchange with leading researchers outside the consortium. Early-career scientists were actively involved through contributed talks and a poster session, which concluded with the award of three poster prizes.
Overall, the SpinQubits Workshop was a highly successful event that strengthened IGNITE’s international visibility and reinforced its role at the forefront of semiconductor spin-qubit research.
