PhD & Post-doc SOCIAL EVENT
The QICS is organising an event to allow to meet new comers and already on site people. This social event will take place at Jussieu, Pierre & Marie Curie Campus, Amphitheater 25, the 5th of October from 5pm. No scientific session, just a short introduction by the QICS, your PhD representative and another invitee to be confirmed.
The goal is to have a drink in the patio and eat all together to share question, experience, in an informal moment.
Registration is now open! Just send us an email at qics@sorbonne-universite.fr 
Deadline:  September 22nd

Scientific MEDIATION TRAINING COURSE in quantum information
Accessible only to PhD students and post-docs
The objective of this short training course is to give you the keys to answer easily to questions about your thematic to the widest possible audience. This training course, starting in November, offers you the opportunity to collaborate all together and create projects such as a video, a video game, escape game, game board or any other  “things” you have dreamt to create once. 
Registration is now open! Go here to get more information about how to apply and content
Deadline: October the 20th

LOQCathon QICS / Quandela
…Pre-registration opening soon!
The QICS, jointly with Quandela, is organising a second session of its hackathon centered on Linear Optical Quantum Computation “LOQCathon” which will be held at Sorbonne Université, on the Pierre and Marie Curie Campus, the week of the 13th to 17th of November 2023.
This 3-day event is open to students, researchers and professionals interested in better understanding Linear Optical Quantum Computation. Grant travels are available for students from outside the Paris region.
More information about the event and on how to pre-register will be communicated soon. The event is free of charge.

SAVE THE DATE
The precise date are not yet fixed but two events will be organized in the coming months:
- a Quantum information tutorial at the beginning of November
- the SQUID – the Sorbonne Quantum Information day, a one-day event, mid-January
More information coming soon

PAPER SUBMISSION TO THE CONVERSATION
The Conversation is an online media which ambition is to turn knowledge and insights from academics into easy-to-read articles, and make them accessible to all readers by a straight collaboration between academics and journalists. 
They are very interested by Quantum information and we are all invited to contribute alone or building a small team from 2 to 5 people, with at least a senior researcher or choosing a subject related to your PhD project. The format is 8000 characters (2 pages).
If you are interested, please get back to us to organise your contribution.
As from now, they published an article about quantum computing and quantum communication and several article about quantum physics.
