MQCQE journal club:

Chair: Dan George dan.george@hdr.mq.edu.au

Purpose: To improve collaboration between members of MQCQE by providing a forum in which to share and discuss meaningful research in quantum science and technology.

Overview:

  • Takes the form of a shared lunch break once per fortnight.
  • Opportunity for MQCQE members to share news and discuss current research.
  • Each lunch is run by a chairperson, who is responsible for moderating discussion.
  • Each MQCQE member is encouraged to present an item for discussion.

Acceptable Discussion Items:

Any respectable scholarly output on the subject of quantum science and technology. Examples of possible discussion items:

  • Peer-reviewed journal publications.
  • Accepted Master’s or PhD theses.
  • ArXiv preprints.
  • Talks and lectures (should be transcribed).
  • Research blog posts.
  • Corrections or retractions (look at retractionwatch.org for inspiration).
  • Books or book reviews.

You are encouraged to present your own work!
