1st General Assembly and Conference – 2025
We are pleased to announce the launch conference of the Quantum Technologies at Paris Cité and Sorbonne Paris Nord (QuanTech@Paris) consortium, carried out by the “inIdEx” initiative of the IdEx of Paris Cité University for the period 2025-2030.
This morning will be organized in three stages:
- Presentation of the consortium teams (1h30)
- Invited presentations (1h)
- General Assembly (1h)
Thank you for reserving the slot in your agenda and coming in large numbers in order to get to know each other better, discover possible collaborations, and participate in the implementation of actions that will be financed by the consortium.
The research topics related to QuanTech@Paris include computational foundations of quantum computing, quantum algorithms, use cases for quantum software development, nonlocality theory, quantum logic.

Quantum Computing and Quantum Physics Explained Differently
Quantum computing and quantum physics are now major scientific disciplines, but they remain complex to understand. To make them more accessible to non-expert audiences, Sophie Laplante, Associate Professor in algorithms and quantum and classical computational complexity at IRIF, the Fundamental Computer Science Research Institute (Université Paris Cité/CNRS), and appointed Senior Member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) in 2025 under the Science Communication Chair, designs educational tools.
