On January 29, at the PCSS headquarters (10 Jana Pawła II Street, Poznań), the Quantum Dev Pizza meeting will take place — an event dedicated to the community of experts, students, and enthusiasts of quantum technologies. This gathering offers an excellent opportunity to share experiences, test innovative ideas, and build lasting relationships within the rapidly evolving IT sector.
The main goal of this initiative is to bring together local developers, researchers, and students around the topic of quantum computing. During the meeting, special attention will be given to showcasing the technological potential being developed directly in Poznań. Participation in the event will not only provide theoretical insights but also create space for turning concepts into practical, working projects.
The agenda includes a variety of activities fostering integration and skill development:
-
Networking: Building valuable connections among participants from academic and business environments.
-
Infrastructure presentation: A chance to see quantum computers available within PCSS resources.
-
Hands-on knowledge: Taking part in technical demonstrations and short talks on career paths in quantum computing.
-
Project support: Engaging discussions (in a relaxed atmosphere over pizza) that may serve as a foundation for future academic and implementation projects.
The event is open to everyone eager to actively co-create the quantum future of Poznań.
