This workshop will bring together stakeholders from across the quantum technology ecosystem to provide input on industry’s most pressing measurement and characterization needs. This information will inform the workplan of NMI-Q, a new G7-endorsed international collaboration of National Metrology Institutes to accelerate the quantum economy through vetted measurement practices. The first day will include a focused workshop on materials for quantum, and optional tours of local quantum companies in the Boulder vicinity.
