We are thrilled to announce the 2025 SQuInT Annual Conference will be held on October 9 (Thurs) - October 11 (Sat) and it will be held at the PAÍS building at the University of New Mexico! This year's SQuInT Conference overlaps with the famous Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

The Southwest Quantum Information and Technology (SQuInT) is a consortium of universities, national labs, and industrial labs, with a concentration in the southwestern United States. SQuInT has a strong tradition of mixing invited talks from world-class leading researchers with talks by junior researchers across the SQuInT network, to promote an interactive environment. The meeting brings together the broad community of researchers in Quantum Information Science, including experimental physicists, theorists, and computer scientists.

The purpose of this network is to facilitate the exchange of resources -- intellectual and human -- amongst the node institutions. Membership in the network is currently focused on, but not limited to, the Southwest region of the United States (hence the name).

Conference Location

Specific locations for each session is available in the far right column of the official conference program listed above. Most sessions are in the Physics & Astronomy and Interdisciplinary Science (PAÍS) Building at UNM. Lunch and the Banquet will be in UNM's Student Union Building.

Shuttles between the Embassy Suites and Hilton Garden Inn hotels and PAÍS will be available at the start and end of conference days.
