About the workshop

Overview

Fast, high-fidelity qubit readout has become one of the central challenges on the path to fault-tolerant superconducting quantum computers. As processors grow and quantum error correction moves from proof-of-principle to everyday practice, the speed, accuracy and scalability of measurement increasingly set the pace of progress.

The Superconducting Qubit Readout Workshop 2027 brings together researchers and groups advancing superconducting qubit readout for three days of focused scientific exchange. The program consists of invited talks complemented by contributed poster sessions open to all participants. The format is single track, with ample time for informal discussion.
