International Quantum Award
QCMC organises the biennial International Quantum Award "for outstanding achievements in quantum science research".
By default, two winners will be chosen from the nominations, one for theoretical and one for experimental achievements (though the Award Committee may deviate from this rule in particularly compelling cases). Each recipient will be invited to deliver an Award Talk at the next edition of QCMC, and will receive a Certificate and a cash award.
