Attend

The conference opens on Tuesday with a short course session in the morning followed by the beginning of a 3-day commercial session featuring materials and equipment vendors.

This year’s focus will be on nanofabrication with a goal of improved precision for quantum and 2D devices.

The 2025 Plenary session on Wednesday morning welcomes three prestigious speakers relevant to this year’s focus, which will be on nanofabrication with a goal of improved precision for quantum and 2D devices:

• Michelle Simmons, Professor, University of New South Wales, CEO Si Quantum Computing
  • The Simmons Group is a world leader in single-dopant-based qubits in Si and aims to commercialise quantum computers. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society, the American Academy of Arts and Science, the American Association of the Advancement of Science, the UK Institute of Physics, the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering and of the Australian Academy of Science.
• Mark Eriksson, John Bardeen Professor and Steenbock Professor, University of Wisconsin–Madison
  •  The Eriksson Group focuses on cutting edge fabrication of nanoscale quantum devices, semiconductor quantum dot qubits, quantum computing and information, quantum measurement, and nanostructure fabrication. Mark has published extensively on enhanced quantum dot qubit performance and the effects of semiconductor valley physics on qubit performance.
• Deji Akinwande, Cockrell Family Regents Chair in Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
  • His research focuses on 2D materials, pioneering device innovations from lab towards applications. His group conducts basic and applied research at the frontier of nanomaterials, flexible nanoelectronics, bioelectronics, RF integrated circuits, and electromagnetics.

The remainder of the conference will consist of three parallel oral sessions. Presentations (including questions) will be 30 minutes for invited papers and 20 minutes for contributed papers. Awards are given for the Best Student Presentation Award and Best Student Poster. Throughout the conference, there are various focused workshops and networking events, including the welcome reception, the Women in Nanotechnology luncheon, the mentoring session, and, of course, the conference banquet on Thursday evening, to be held in the Riverside Ballroom, opening directly onto the Savannah River.
