RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT
Women physicists receive considerably fewer citations than their male colleagues. We are on a mission to change that!
Recognizing the contributions of female quantum scientists is not only a matter of equity and diversity but is also essential for fostering innovation and comprehensive understanding within the field of quantum physics.
We are dedicated to spotlighting the incredible women scientists and their groundbreaking work in the field of quantum physics. By sharing their achievements we aim to inspire a new generation of scientists and highlight the critical role that diversity plays in driving innovation.
If you're a researcher who identifies as female and specializes in quantum technologies or related fields, and you'd like your latest publication to be featured, we want to hear from you!
