2nd Quantum Cambridge-Oxford-Warwick Colloquium (QCOW)

April 23-24, 2026
University of Warwick
https://qcow.cs.ox.ac.uk/

QCOW is a new series of meetings dedicated to advancing the understanding of fundamental questions and open problems in quantum complexity theory. The meetings will rotate between universities of Cambridge, Oxford, and Warwick, with each event focusing on a specific theme within the theoretical foundations of quantum computation. The aim is to foster a sustained exchange of ideas among researchers in the field—bringing together leading experts, academics and postdoctoral scholars, and students who share a deep interest in the rigorous study of quantum computational power and its limitations. By providing a forum for in-depth discussion and collaboration, the QCOW Colloquium seeks to strengthen and expand the community of researchers working on quantum computing theory, stimulate new research directions, and inspire the next generation of scientists in this rapidly evolving discipline. The topic of QCOW2 will be Quantum Learning Theory.
