The Quantum Winter
School 2025
8 - 9 DEC 2025
8.30am - 5pm
KU Main Campus, B00107
The Quantum Winter School 2025 (QWS 2025), hosted by Khalifa University, brings together leading researchers, students, and industry professionals to explore the frontiers of quantum communication, quantum sensing & simulation, and quantum computing. Through lectures, tutorials, poster sessions, and panels, QWS 2025 offers a unique platform for learning, collaboration, and innovation positioning Khalifa University and the UAE as a growing hub for quantum technologies.
As part of the Quantum Winter School 2025, the Quantum in Practice workshop brings together leading academic researchers, quantum technology enablers such as IBM, and industry stakeholders to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world applications.
This interactive workshop will feature tutorials on quantum fundamentals alongside practical use-case explorations in key domains including finance, healthcare, metrology, and more. Participants will gain insights into how quantum technologies can create tangible value for local industries, identify current gaps, and uncover opportunities for quantum advantage across emerging sectors.
Join us to explore how quantum can transform your business and unlock new frontiers of innovation.
