Siam Quantum Science and Technology

Date: 18 - 21 May 2026

Location: Jomtien, Chonburi, Thailand


Invited Speakers SQST Registration

Welcome to SQST 2026

        Quantum Science and Technology, in recent years, have emerged as significant research areas globally, drawing attention and contributions from government sectors, academic institutions and even industries. Thailand is catching up and has established a research funding scheme to support cutting-edge quantum technology research.

        Following the success of Siam Quantum Science and Technology (SQST) in Krabi, Thailand in 2024, this time, SQST 2026 will be the second international conference in Chonburi, Thailand, that focuses on research topics related to quantum science and technology. This event aims to reflect the growing quantum-research community in the country and the government's commitment to frontier science in the field. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers from overseas and within Thailand, fostering collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and inspiring young scientists in the field of quantum science and research. The event will feature invited speakers, contributed speakers, and poster presentations selected from submitted abstracts, for the duration of 4 days in late May.

        The SQST 2026 conference is hosted by Siam Quantum Square, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, in collaboration with Quantum Technology Research initiative collaboration (QTRic).
