On November 4, the Quantum4EnergyNL initiative is organizing a full-day symposium in Eindhoven on what quantum technologies (computing, sensing, communications) could do for the energy transition, and what it takes to bring them from the lab to the grid. Engineers, researchers and professionals from academia, industry, and policy, whether coming from the energy or the quantum side, are warmly invited to hear about the latest work in the Netherlands and to meet the community.
