The year 2022 marks the return of the QSciTech summer school in person. From 4 to 8 July, we were able to count on the enthusiasm of students, researchers, and industry colleagues to make this event possible – designed exclusively for graduate students in the domain of quantum technologies or materials. A total of 16 QSciTech students, 15 lecturers and a dozen collaborators supported the QSciTech management team in the success of the 2022 Summer School. All this in a stunning natural setting in Jouvence, Orford, Québec.
Many thanks to everyone who took part in this edition which was a great success!
