The Quantum Paper Club is organized by students for students. Its goal is to expose the students interested in Quantum Engineering to the research done in the field. More than this, it is a formidable platform to practice public scientific speaking.
The Quantum Paper Club usually is on Tuesdays at 18:30 in HIT H42. For participation contact Moritz (moritzfo@student.ethz.ch).
Everybody is welcome to join!
