The first QuARC Meeting: Scoping Opportunities for Applying and Developing Quantum Technologies will be an informal gathering of the Kent Quantum Technologies (QT) community and allied fields. It aims to seek opportunities to apply and/or develop QT to the many scientific fields of enquiry in which Kent staff carry out frontier research.

Instructions for speakers
Please send your talk to quarcinfo@kent.ac.uk before 11am on the day of the meeting. This will allow us to load your talk on the seminar room PC before the start of the meeting to minimise time switching speakers. Make sure your talk is in Powerpoint or PDF format.
Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of the meeting, participants are asked to keep their talks at a level relevant to a non-specialist audience.
Given the tight programme, could you please rehearse your talk and make sure that you can deliver it in 15 mins.
Participants are be asked to
- EITHER describe their research field, emphasising some current challenges that might benefit form a QT approach or
- OR present current work using QT approaches.
All talks are welcome, including from those not currently working on QT.
