Announcement and abstract submission: QUOCA virtual workshop, 23 – 26 February 2026
We are excited to announce the next QUOCA virtual workshop, which will be held 23-26 February and will consist of invited and submitted talks related to preliminary analysis of the QUOCA Phase 1 experiments. The workshop will feature 1 day of talks (2.5 hours on the first day), 1 day of discussion of planned analysis (2.5 hours on the second day) and 1 day of tutorials on data use and best practices (2 hours on the third day).
If you would like to be considered for a talk, please submit your abstract by Monday, February 16.
