Quantum Center Lunch Seminar
The Quantum Center Lunch Seminar takes place every first Thursday of the month at 12:00 in HPF G6, ETH Zurich, Hönggerberg. There are typically two talks of 30 minutes duration each, given by members from different research groups. The primary aim of this internal seminar series is to allow early career scientists of the Quantum Center community to present and discuss their current research, and to interconnect between research teams and across disciplines. At 13:00 free pizza or lasagna is offered to the participants (registration for lunch is mandatory).
If you have suggestions on topics or speakers, or if you would like to present recent results of your research, please reach out to us at .
