QI4U2026 in United Kingdom
This small, research-focused programme brings together postdoctoral and other young or early-career researchers from Japan and the United Kingdom to develop collaborative research themes in quantum technologies and explore possible pathways towards social and industrial applications.
Participants will work in small groups to develop a research concept and an initial 30/60/90-day continuation plan. A direct route to commercialisation or startup creation is not required.
QI4U2026 in United Kingdom will be held as a satellite event of the International Conference on Quantum Annealing (INQA 2026).
