From October 20 to 24, the Botanical Garden of the University of Valencia hosted the tenth edition of the Quantum Information in Spain conference (ICE-10), the annual meeting of the Spanish Network for Quantum Information (RITCE), which brings together national and international researchers working in quantum computing, communications, metrology, thermodynamics, and other related fields.

The ICE conference takes its name, “Quantum Information in Spain,” from the event at which the Spanish Network for Quantum Information and Quantum Technologies was founded. Today, it is a leading event for the international community, aiming to strengthen the national quantum ecosystem and to promote the participation of young researchers from all areas of quantum science and technology.

The opening ceremony was presided over by Joaquín Aldas, Vice-Rector for Planning, Quality and Technologies at the University of Valencia (UV), and featured the participation of the organizers: Armando Pérez (UV and IFIC), Manuel Gessner (UV and IFIC), José Manuel Claver (UV), and Jorge Mocholí, Deputy Director General for Science and Research of the Generalitat Valenciana. All of them highlighted the importance of quantum technologies and their transformative potential for society and science.

The ICE-10 meeting brought together more than 150 researchers in the field, who throughout the week presented their work in 56 scientific talks and two poster sessions.

This edition was organized by professors and researchers from the University of Valencia, the Institute of Corpuscular Physics (IFIC, a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council and the University of Valencia), and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), with the support of several projects and public institutions that promote the development of quantum research in Spain: the Spanish Network for Quantum Information and Quantum Technologies and the CSIC Quantum Technologies Platform
