The DQUT Conference (Palma de Mallorca, Spain, September 30th – October 2nd, 2026) will bring together researchers working on dissipation-assisted quantum technologies and related areas of quantum physics, ranging from fundamental questions to emerging technological applications. The meeting aims to provide a forum to discuss recent advances, exchange ideas, and explore new research directions by bringing together scientists from both theoretical and experimental backgrounds, fostering interaction across different approaches and encouraging new collaborations within the community.
Topics include, but not restricted to:
Quantum computation and machine learning: dissipative state engineering, dissipative quantum computing, quantum reservoir computing, associative memories.
Quantum sensing: critical and nonequilibrium quantum sensing (including dissipative phase transitions, time crystals, and other nonequilibrium phases), multi-parameter estimation, and sensing via continuous monitoring.
Enabling phenomena: dissipative and measurement-induced phase transitions, collective effects in driven-dissipative quantum systems, synchronization, time crystals and other nonequilibrium phases, quantum thermodynamics, quantum biology.
Participation is open to everyone, and we especially encourage young researchers and early-career scientists to attend, present their work, and engage with the community.
The conference will include oral presentations and poster sessions.

Venue
The DQUT Conference will take place at Auditorium Parc-BIT, Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
From Palma city center, the venue can be reached by metro from Plaça d’Espanya. Take the metro to the final stop Parc-BIT, then walk uphill toward the auditorium (approximately 5–10 minutes).
Metro tickets in Palma (TIB network) can be paid directly using a contactless debit/credit card or mobile device at the validation barriers when entering and exiting the station.
All conference talks will take place at the Parc-BIT auditorium.
