The International Conference on Superconductor Materials and Metamaterials for Quantum Hardware (SM2Q) is a new global conference series dedicated to advancing the foundations of quantum technology. The series is designed to unite researchers, engineers, industry partners, and policy makers working at the intersection of (meta) materials science, circuit design, device engineering, and quantum hardware applications. With a strong emphasis on superconducting materials and metamaterials, SM2Q provides a forum to accelerate progress in quantum computing, quantum communications, and quantum sensing by bridging fundamental advances with scalable hardware solutions.
The 1st SM2Q-2025 will take place on 18–19th November 2025 in The Ferguson Room, One A the Square, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK. By gathering international contributors in one of the UK’s leading centres for quantum research, the event aims to inspire new ideas and partnerships that will advance quantum hardware. Alongside technical sessions, the programme will highlight industrial perspectives and supply chain considerations, making SM2Q-2025 a comprehensive meeting point for academia and industry alike.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Quantum computing, qubits, Josephson junctions, quantum circuits, and components
• Superconducting electronics, SFQs, transistors, parametric amplifiers, photon sources, SQUIDs, filters, and diodes
• Superconducting metamaterials and novel circuit architectures
• Superconducting photonics, modulators, detectors and SNSPD sensors
• Hybrid superconducting circuits and quantum interconnects
• Quantum communications and hybrid quantum interconnects
• Superconductor–semiconductor devices and interfaces
• Advanced superconductors: nitride-based, high-temperature, 2D, layered, and topological systems
• Modelling, simulation, and design of cryogenic electronic devices and circuits
• Materials growth, fabrication, and characterisation for quantum hardware
• Industrial perspectives: sustainability, advanced superconductor supply chain and scalable technologies
