Joint IQIM/AWS Seminar

Joint IQIM/AWS Seminar Series

The Joint IQIM/AWS Seminar Series provides an opportunity for colleagues in the research community to present recent work.

Seminars are currently held Wednesdays at 11 am. We are offering a combination of online and in-person talks. Seminar speakers are coordinated by Aleksander Kubica, AWS, and John Preskill.
