Patrick Walsh won 3rd place at the Chicago Quantum Summit poster session. The title of his poster was: Developing tools and techniques for autotuning quantum dot devices.

The seventh annual Chicago Quantum Summit took place on October 21 and 22 and featured dialogue about the growing quantum technology economy, new research initiatives in the field, and efforts to build the quantum workforce.

Members of the CQE community were invited to submit a poster on any quantum information science and engineering topic. Students and postdocs were particularly encouraged to apply.

Several students from UW-Madison took part in the poster session and attended the meeting on October 21.
