QMUL SNOLAB Workshop

→ Canada/Eastern
Description

Thank You for a Successful Workshop!

We hope to host you again one day soon!

Hosted in partnership with Queen Mary University of London, this will be a 3.5-day workshop will bring together experts from different scientific communities to identify these challenges and plan for future quantum-enabled particle detection experiments.

Over the past decades, semiconductor technology, based on quantum mechanical principles, has enabled us to unlock some of the biggest secrets of the Universe. However, there are outlying challenges, such as the detection and characterisation of dark matter, and the measurement of neutrino mass. It is natural to ask if recent developments in quantum technologies, driven by sensing and computing applications, can shed light on these unanswered questions. 

Please see PDF below for a link for the SNOLAB Visitor Guide. There will be an underground tour available for those interested. This document provides procedures to prepare for going underground.

There are also video links below on how a typical SNOLAB Underground Tour goes. Also see the detailed tab explaining the proccess in the menu to the left.
