The Northern Quantum Meeting 11 (NQM11) will be the eleventh instalment of a series of biannual meetings. The NQMs are attended by members of the universities in the north of England, particularly the N8 Research Partnership, the NQM11 will be hosted by the Lancaster University. The previous three meetings were held in Newcastle, Sheffield and York. 

The aim of the Northern Quantum Meetings is to bring together researchers broadly working on Quantum Science and Technologies, with an emphasis on providing PhD students and early career researchers a platform to network and showcase their work in accessible talks. 

The meeting is free to attend – refreshments and lunch will be provided.

Where: Faraday Lecture Theatre, Faraday Complex, Lancaster University, Bailrigg, Lancaster LA1 4YW

By car

Parking information: (1) Guests can collect a parking scratch card at the venue from one of the organisers. The guests need to head back to the car to place the card visibly in the car, and then go back to the venue. (2) Alternatively, you could pay following https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/sustainability/action/travel/parking/visitor-parking/. We apologise for this complication.
