Description

This event aims to gather expressions of interest from the community regarding the use of a test beam platform at CERN for quantum technologies. Building on the ongoing work with SNSPDs, it will provide an opportunity to review the current plans and identify the needs of other use cases and technologies that could benefit from testing. If you are interested in presenting your ideas, please send a request to maurizio.pierini@cern.ch

THE MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE IN 40/S2-B01 (Salle Bohr) in the morning and in the IT amphitheatre in the afternoon
