Convergence of Magnetic Resonance and Quantum Information Science

This GRC on the Convergence of Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Quantum Information Science (QIS) is a premier, international conference born out of an urgent need for a platform to foster transformative new science and quantum education at the intersection of these two fields, and will focus on advancing the frontier of quantum informed science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research. This GRC will feature nine scientific sessions, one Power Hour on the “Convergence of Quantum Formalism and Language”, poster sessions and lots of communal time. A key obstacle to the exchange of ideas between QIS and MR lies in the distinct terminologies that have independently evolved in each field—often to describe fundamentally similar concepts. To facilitate more effective communication across communities, we will encourage all speakers to articulate key concepts using the language of both disciplines, and to deliberately translate terminology, even when the ideas may seem commonplace within their own field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities with lasting collaborations and friendships.
