Bring a pair of comfortable and resistant shoes
The poster sessions will take place in a separate poster room.
Put up the posters on Monday afternoon and let them sit up during the entire school, for maximum scientific discussions.
Add a colored square of paper (available in the poster room) to the top of your poster to indicate in which of the four areas your topic fits best:
- Quantum computation, experiment: Red
- Quantum computation, theory: Blue
- Quantum communication: Yellow
- Quantum sensing: Green
