The SEQUOIA Horizon Europe project will hold its final Workshop on Quantum Imaging on WED 27-May-2026 at the German national metrology institute PTB: Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt.

This in person workshop will cover a range of topics relating to quantum imaging, from hardware (comb sources, SPAD-based imagers) to practical issues (noise, experimental approaches). In addition, the consortium is very pleased to host several prestigious guest speakers who will present in person on key quantum imaging themes and capabilities. The workshop aims to bring together people from quantum imaging research, industry and stakeholders from other disciplines including medicine and ophthalmology.

The current outline agenda is as follows (subject to change):

9:30-11: 00 Session 1
