Shoucheng Zhang Conference on Quantum Science and Engineering, 2024

The Shoucheng Zhang Conference and Retreat for Quantum Science and Engineering is an annual event that brings together the Stanford community of quantum science and engineering. The conference is named in honor of the late Professor Shoucheng Zhang, a visionary scientist and mentor who has made profound impact on many areas of condensed matter physics.

The conference showcases the latest research and discoveries by Q-FARM faculty members, graduate fellows from the Shoucheng Zhang Fellowship program, and postdoctoral fellows from the Bloch Fellowship program. The draft schedule is here. Through this conference, we aim to foster interdisciplinary collaborations, inspire new ideas and discoveries, and honor the legacy of Professor Zhang, whose creativity, passion, and dedication to science has inspired generations of researchers.

The 2024 conference will take place in Santa Cruz from September 11 to September 13, 2024. Alongside our invited speakers and guests, we have a limited number of registration slots open to Q-FARM community members. If you’re interested in attending, please apply by clicking the button.
