Call for 2026 IQuS Workshop Proposals

We welcome proposals for in-person IQuS workshops in the Institute for Nuclear Theory (INT) of one or two week duration during 2026 to focus on topics at the interface of nuclear physics, quantum simulation and quantum information science. IQuS workshops are intended to bring together a cross-disciplinary group of approximately 20 researchers of various scientific backgrounds and career stages to address immediate challenges that require “collective brainstorming” in an immersive environment. Of particular interest are topics and structures that have the potential to lead to disruptive advances in the simulation of quantum many-body systems and are likely to enable knowledge transfer within and between scientific communities and career stages. Proposals will be selected based upon evaluations by the Scientific Advisory Board in coordination with IQuS scientists. The 2026 workshops will be held during March and September.

Proposals should be submitted by November 1 of this year. Sometime after, we will inform you of the outcome of our discussions.

We recommend addressing each of the required fields in an off-line document, such as Word, and pasting the text for all fields into the form at once (to avoid browser timeouts and other that might “vanish” some of your work.

Workshop Proposal
Scientific Scope and Strategic Importance to NP and QIS*
Two or three substantial paragraphs describing the scientific purpose of the workshop, the science that could be accomplished, and the expected impacts on QIS and NP.
Meeting Structure*
Describe the format you envisage for the workshop. Please keep in mind that “less is more”, and we encourage only one longer or two shorter talks per day, with an afternoon coffee/tea meeting/discussion to ensure fresh minds.
Number of Attendees*
The INT can provide office space for up to 22 attendees (excluding local researchers).
Names of Contacted Key Attendees*
The names of key people you have already contacted and that have indicated they will likely attend the workshop. We encourage a diverse cross-section of researchers from universities, national laboratories and technology companies appropriate to addressing the scientific challenge(s).
Balance Coordinator*
The co-organizer responsible for designing a balanced workshop with attendees representative of the scientific community selected to accomplish the workshop objectives.
Balance*
Describe steps you intend to take to ensure a balanced participation by a representative cross-disciplinary group of researchers selected to accomplish the workshop objectives.
Present for Workshop*
I agree to be present in IQuS for the duration of the workshop
Code of Conduct*
I agree to adhere to the Code of Conduct
