A main activity of the INSQT is a series of workshops throughout the duration of the network. The first workshop will be 3rd to 5th August 2022 in Glasgow and will bring together the international space quantum technology community to identify the key challenges facing the field, share knowledge, and establish a preliminary roadmap for the development of the space quantum internet. Subsequent workshops will elaborate in the themes initially established.
In addition, INSQT members are invited to host ad hoc mini-workshops on specific topics or challenges. Details on how to apply for funding for these mini-workshop are to come.
Workshop 1: Joint Workshop (3 – 5 August 2022, Strathclyde). Identify key topics or challenges, stimulate cross-community interaction, facilitate extended research exchanges.
Workshop 2: Space Quantum Engineering (13-15 February 2023, RAL Space). To address developmental challenges across SQT domains. Sessions in Space Engineering and Quantum Mission Requirements.
Workshop 2.1: Current Missions And Component Developments (22-23 May 2023, FSU, Jena). Focus on current missions and component developments.
ESA Workshop: Quantum Sensors for Science Exploration (25 – 26 May 2023). Supported by INSQT.
Workshop 3: Space Quantum Networking Workshop (30 August – 1st September 2023, Humboldt University, Berlin). Focused on the role of key components and enablers of quantum networking within the architectural framework of the Space Quantum Internet, such as quantum memories.
Workshop 4: General Space Quantum Technologies (20-22 March 2024, PRL, Ahmedabad, India). General workshop on all space quantum technology and related topics.
QTX-8: Quantum Technologies on Small Satellites (5 – 6 August 2024, TUM, Munich). INSQT Co-Host.
