Jointly-funded Workshop 2025 East Asia Joint Workshop on Fields and Strings Quantum field theory and String/M-theory have been major tools in shaping our theoretical understanding of the fundamental aspects of nature. Recently, there has been rapid progress in uncovering the deeper structure of these theories. Organizers: Quantum Gravity Unit 16 December 2025 - 20 December 2025
OIST Workshop QRF 2025 Quantum reference frames are a universal tool for dealing with symmetries in quantum systems. They thus arise in seemingly disparate areas. Organizers: Qubits and Spacetime Unit 13 October 2025 - 17 October 2025
Course OSP2025 The main focus of this school is quantum communications ranging from quantum key distribution (the most advanced quantum technology) to quantum internet (the future quantum platform). Organizers: Networked Quantum Devices Unit Quantum Engineering and Design Unit Quantum Architecture Unit 21 September 2025 - 03 October 2025
