ERVA will host a webinar on March 5, 2026, at noon EST to discuss the findings from the recently released report, Engineering Research to Advance Quantum Technologies. This webinar features ERVA Co-PI Edl Schamiloglu, distinguished professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of New Mexico, and the event’s Thematic Task Force co-chairs, Brian Gaucher, principal research scientist (retired), IBM, and Saikat Guha, Clark Distinguished Chair and professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Maryland.

Overview:

Quantum technologies have advanced rapidly over the past decade, driven by major breakthroughs in quantum science. As these technologies move beyond proof-of-concept demonstrations, challenges related to scalability, reliability, integration, and system operation increasingly shape what is feasible. Many of these challenges are not rooted in fundamental physics, but in engineering constraints that must be addressed to enable practical, deployable quantum systems.

This webinar will explore the findings of the ERVA report. It will highlight priority engineering research directions, examine challenges and opportunities across multiple quantum domains, and discuss how advances in these areas could shape the development of quantum technologies over the next 10 to 25 years.

This webinar is relevant to engineering researchers, industry practitioners, research funders, and others interested in advancing quantum technologies through engineering-led approaches. It will be of particular interest to those working at the intersection of quantum science, engineering, materials, computing, and systems integration.

This free webinar is open to all, but registration is required.
