Fundamental Limits of Quantum Technologies

25-29 August 2025

The Alex Hotel, Dublin

Quantum technologies promise to revolutionize our ability to acquire, communicate, and process information. However, the fundamental limits of quantum technologies—stemming from factors including external noise, energetic costs, and the complexity of controlling many-body dynamics—are still not fully understood. This conference will bring together experts bridging theory, experiment, and commercial applications, to address questions such as:

  • Can the limitations of near-term quantum devices be circumvented for practical applications?

  • What are the fundamental limits of precise quantum measurement and control?

  • How can quantum technologies be made more robust and energy-efficient?

Our goal is to foster an environment where tools and concepts can be shared between researchers from diverse backgrounds and career stages, shaping a broader understanding of how these fundamental limits will impact the future development of quantum technologies.

We gratefully acknowledge support from the EU Quantum Flagship.
