On November 5, 2021, Leiden will host the 6th Quantum Software Consortium (QSC) General Assembly, organized by Peter Bruin and Wolfgang Löffler. You may expect exciting presentations also from new QSC members (a.o. Gayane Vardoyan and Jonas Helsen), from fundamental mathematics to experimental quantum optics. Barbara Terhal will give a key note on Quantum Error Correction and Fault-Tolerance.
