Exploring the future of quantum applications

Date: 10 November 2026 Add to calendar
Time: 13:00 to 17:00
Location: Koninklijk Instituut Van Ingenieurs (KIVI), The Hague
Description: Following a successful first edition, the Quantum Application Lab is organizing its second event. Over the past year, significant progress has been made in advancing quantum application use cases. This gathering offers an opportunity to reflect on these developments and to look ahead at what is needed to translate quantum innovation into practical value.

What to expect

The programme will focus on both technological progress and practical application. Participants can expect to:

Gain insights into the latest developments in quantum application use cases;
Learn about approaches to co-developing quantum solutions with end users;
Engage in open discussions on ambitions, needs, and challenges;
Explore how QAL can support organizations in developing and implementing quantum applications.
