To foster the exchange of information, EQSI will organise a monthly series of online talks on quantum software. The talks will alternate between higher-level overview talks by distinguished scientists (EQSI Colloquium) and presentations of specific recent results (EQSI Seminar). Typically, the talks will take place in the 3rd week of the month, starting at 5pm CET, so that audiences from both Europe and North America are able to watch the talks live.
Recordings of the EQSI Colloquium talks will be available on the EQSI Youtube channel.
