Quantum Café is CCQ’s ongoing seminar series: open to all bona fide members of the greater NYC scientific community and held every second week, Quantum Café presents a series of informal, highly interactive talks, typically by external speakers, which present the most interesting recent developments and open questions in our field.
All speakers are scheduled on Wednesday from 2:00-3:30pm and will take place in the 9th floor classroom unless otherwise noted.
