The 2026 SQuInT Workshop is heading to Tempe! Join us October 15–17, 2026, at the Omni Tempe Hotel at Arizona State University for three days of talks, discussion, and collaboration at the forefront of quantum science. 

Southwest Quantum Information and Technology (SQuInT) is a consortium of universities, national labs, and industrial labs, with a concentration in the southwestern United States. SQuInT has a strong tradition of mixing invited talks from world-class leading researchers with talks by junior researchers across the SQuInT network, to promote an interactive environment. The meeting brings together the broad community of researchers in Quantum Information Science, including experimental physicists, theorists, and computer scientists.

The purpose of this network is to facilitate the exchange of resources -- intellectual and human -- amongst the node institutions. Membership in the network is currently focused on, but not limited to, the Southwest region of the United States (hence the name).
