This workshop brings together ExpandQISE investigators, NSF Program Directors, and other stakeholders to foster a collaborative environment that amplifies collective progress and innovation in the evolving and expanding field of quantum information science and engineering (QISE). By convening researchers who are developing and implementing projects focused on expanding QISE capabilities, the workshop aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas, share best practices, and address common challenges. This event will encourage interdisciplinary dialogue, strengthen partnerships between institutions, and catalyze new collaborations that align with the broader goals of enhancing the workforce, educational outreach, and research infrastructure related to QIS. Such interactions not only support the individual growth of projects but also contribute to a cohesive national strategy for advancing quantum technologies and education.
This NSF ExpandQISE workshop is by invitation only. Each invited speaker and participant must register for the workshop by February 28, 2026.
