Q-turn 2020 is going Online!
Due to the unprecedented situation with the global coronavirus pandemic, this year Q-turn 2020 will be an online event!
About Q-Turn
Q-turn is a unique international quantum information workshop series. Our core mission is to foster an inclusive community and highlight outstanding research that may be under-appreciated in other high-impact venues due to systemic biases.
As researchers who value the power of education and collaboration, we aim to facilitate a dialogue in the community over issues that affect us as a society, collectively making progress to resolve them. For this reason, Q-turn holds an awareness program in addition to the focused quantum science program. Q-turn's awareness program promotes diversity, equity, inclusion, intersectionality, responsible research, workers' rights, as well as physical and mental health in quantum science and technology. Q-turn's quantum science program highlights top-quality work on quantum information technology and foundations. Researchers in these fields and intersecting ones are welcome to submit their work.
Q-Turn 2020 will be held as an online event with an international focus from Nov 23rd to 27th, 2020.
Whilst the final format will be confirmed over the coming months in line with the global situation, we are confident that an online platform can provide an equally engaging, inclusive, and diverse event that will accommodate attendees in different time zones.

Submission Guidelines
Submissions are invited for a contributed talk or a poster only.
A submission should consist of a one-page extended abstract (plus references), with at least 11-point fonts and reasonable margins. It should contain original results in quantum information technology and foundations, or related fields. The abstract should provide sufficient evidence of the results and enough detail to allow the program committee to assess the merits of the work. The abstract should refer to recent work available either in peer-reviewed journals or on the arXiv, and the authors should include a link to the published paper or preprint below the title of the abstract.
Abstracts can be submitted for a contributed talk or poster only. Any submission for a talk will automatically be considered for a poster in the event it does not qualify for a talk.
Abstracts should be sent in PDF format and submission is done via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=qturn2020
This year’s Q-turn will feature student prizes. A submission is eligible for the prize if and only if one of the authors is a student at the time of the submission and this student will present the work as a talk or as a poster at Q-Turn.
