Dear Students, Dear Colleagues
The applications are open for the NEW GRC on Magnetic Resonance and Quantum Information Science, taking place during June 14-19, 2026, in Southern New Hampshire University, NH.
We encourage you and your students, postdocs and colleagues to register asap, and encourage others to do so. We have the feeling that this GRC will be popular. Register early so you don’t miss out.
NEW. Students applying before January 31, 2026, and Postdocs in some circumstances, are eligible for a Travel fellowship and/or registration discount. Please use a cover letter together with the Poster Abstract to make your case. There also is the Carl Storm Fellowship by the GRC that is available for FIRST TIME students or postdoc attendees of the GRC.
The all-inclusive (room & board) registration fee is $1,400 for a Single, $1,350 for Double, and $935 for Offsite. You will find the Application link and an exciting draft program in the link below: https://www.grc.org/magnetic-resonance-and-quantum-information-science-conference/2026/
We have received generous support from the GRC, JEOL Inc., XeedQ GmbH, Groupment Ampere, International EPR / ESR society (IES), ACS, Spinflex, Qblox, Bruker Biospin, Virgina Diodes, Quantum Machines, Tecmag, Cryogenics, Thomas Keating Ltd, the Center for Molecular Quantum Transduction (CMQT), and the Pines Magnetic Resonance Center (PMRC) and the CZI Biohub.
Several more companies and Institutes have pledged support and will be announced at our next email. We will greatly appreciate financial support and help from ALL of you, your institutions, research centers or company contacts. Please help us by connecting us to your Institute, Centers, Donors, and Corporations to support this exciting inaugural conference. Please email us contacts or directly contribute using the link is here: https://my.grc.org/p/contributions/19523
The selection of session topics in the program reflects our vision for this GRC to serve as a platform for both learning and teaching the fundamentals of spin quantum science, and for unlocking the untapped potential of magnetic resonance at its intersection with quantum information science.
Our inaugural GRC will be hosting a Power Hour featuring the theme “Convergence of Quantum Formalism and Language.” This is a recognition of the obstacle to the exchange of ideas between QIS and MR that lies in the distinct terminologies that have independently evolved in each field—often to describe fundamentally similar concepts. Overcoming this language barrier will accelerate research, innovation, new collaborations, and academic-corporation relationships.
The initial program can be found on the GRC webpage, featuring the following nine session topics.
1. Translation of Spin Quantum Concepts Across Communities
2. Coherence, Decoherence and Entanglement
3. Spin Qubit Design for Quantum Control and Sensing
4. Hyperpolarization Methods for Spin State Initialization
5. Treasure Trove of NMR Pulse Sequences for Quantum Information Science
6. Quantum Engineering and Control
7. Spin Dependent Processes in Biology and Water
8. Quantum Electrodynamics Enabled Processes
9. Vision for Spin Based Quantum Information Science
The most important aspect of a GRC is a committed attendee community that sees this as a unique venue for learning, networking and exchanging that is worth attending regularly every two years. Feel free to join the email list to receive updates: https://forms.gle/PhxSBs8w9GtGxucB8
We are excited to be in an active conference planning stage and hope to host many of you at this exciting gathering.
Sincerely,
Songi Han (Chair) and Alexej Jerschow (Co-Chair)
Tatyana Polenova (Vice Chair) and Ashok Ajoy (Co-Vice Chair)
