The main goal of this colloquium, organized at the Institut Néel in Grenoble, is to gather all the various communities working in Quantum Information, and to permit, along 3 days, to exchange on the recent advances in the field.
The colloquium will be organized along 4 communication modes:
- invited talks, having clear pedagogical purpose, on the very foundations and most advanced applications of the field;
- contributed talks on the current hot topics within the strategic thematics (ARTs) identified by the GDR - IQFA;
- poster sessions to give the youngest the opportunity to present their work to the entire community, again within the strategic thematics (ARTs) identified by the GDR - IQFA.

Informations pratiques d’accès
- The 3nd colloquium of the GDR - IQFA, mainly organized by the Institut Néel in Grenoble, will take place within the Administration Building of the CNRS Délégation Alpes, which is located on the site of the Grenoble Polygone Scientifique, rue des Martyrs. You can find online a map of the Polygone Scientifique at Map.
- All the invited and contributed talks will be given in the Administration Building of the CNRS Délégation Alpes on the Polygone Scientifique. The poster session will take place in one of the related buildings, two blocks away.
To reach the CNRS Délégation Alpes, please follow the link Access.
Here is a localization map of the Institut Néel MAP.
- To reach the CNRS Délégation Alpes by bus from Grenoble down-town At the Grenoble rail station, take the bus n°34 - direction Polygone scientifique or Sassenage Château - (the bus n° 34 can be taken at the central exit of the Grenoble rail station, on the other side of the rail station place), or take the bus n°30 - direction St-Egrève (need to exit the rail station by the Europole exit to take the bus n° 30). Tickets can be bought directly in the bus, however, not that if you would like to take the trawmway, tickets cannot be bought in the tramways. Get out of the bus at the "place de la Résistance" stop. To know passage times : have a look at the website TAG.
