As usual, the programme will feature plenary talks, many technical invited and contributed talks, and again a poster session with a preceeding poster pitch talk session.
The programme committee has met, and concluded with the structure of the programme on 18 September. If you have not been notified yet from easychair, please contact us via email to chair@ipsmeeting.org.
You can also download a preliminary programme in pdf.
There will be lots of opportunity to catch up with your colleagues. This year, a high number of exhibitors will also present their latest gadgets and services to the community - please visit them!
Plenary talks
We are proud to host the following confirmed scientists as plenary speakers this year:
-
Asst. Prof. PAN Feng, Singapore University of Technology and Design:
Taming Complex Systems in Quantum Computing -
Asst. Prof. Ilya Belopolski, Nanyang Technological University:
Semimetal optoelectronics - Prof. Yu-Heng Tseng, National Taiwan University:
Predicting ENSO in a Changing Pacific: Physical insights from the triple-dip La Niño and Ongoing Development of 2026/27 El Niño - Asst. Prof. Marc HON, National Unversity of Singapore
-
Assoc. Prof. DONG Zhaogang, Singapore University of Technology and Design
Engineering Light at the Nanoscale: From Classical to Quantum Nanophotonics - Dr. HO Pin, IMRE/A*STAR:
Unconventional Antiferromagnets: From Fundamentals to Translation
All plenary presentations will be given in Lecture Theatre 2.
IPS Awards
We are happy to again host the presentation of this year's IPS Award winners at our research meeting.
Posters and more
We have reserved ample time for many poster presentations where you can interact directly with your fellow researchers. Like last years, researchers who submitted a poster can choose to present in 3 minutes their work to the while IPS audience in the Rapid Fire Poster Pitch session, and lure more fellow researchers to their poster.
The poster session comes of course with pizza supply later on, during which we also will announce the this-year's best poster awards.
Please design your poster in a A1 format portrait orientation, or it will not fit on the poster walls.
Technical sessions
The conference features several sessions of technical talks, invited and contributed, which give opportunity to get first-hand information in various research topics. Contributed talks will be 12min + 3min Q&A, invited talks 15 + 5min.
QuantumSG Network meeting
As in previous years, the QuantumSG community is organizing an informal whiteboard talk and networking event on Friday afternoon. This event is intended to bring together researchers in quantum sciences from all over Singapore. Newcomers and longtimers with new ideas can connect to the community, and present a short whiteboard gig if they want.
(Tentative) Conference Schedule
If you find any problems with the schedule, please let us know as soon as possible via email to chair@ipsmeeting.org.
