JOSEPHINE International workshop
Superconductivity fundamentals,
devices & emerging technologies

Join leading researchers from physics, materials science, superconducting electronics and neuromorphic computing to discuss the latest advances towards ultrafast and energy-efficient computing technologies.

Palacio de Miramar,
San Sebastian, Spain

June 15 – 18, 2027

Researchers, PhD students, engineers and industry stakeholders

This workshop brings together leading experts working at the frontier of quantum materials and superconductivity. We will discuss recent advances in unconventional and high-temperature superconductors, Josephson physics, and superconducting hybrid systems, with an eye toward understanding the fundamental mechanisms that govern these remarkable states of matter.

A central theme of the workshop is the bridge between basic research and emerging technologies. We will discuss  how superconducting and quantum materials can be harnessed for quantum technologies, and discuss the  growing connection between superconductivity and neuromorphic computing — a frontier that promises to reshape our approach to energy-efficient information processing.

We hope the workshop will foster new collaborations and inspire its participants to pursue bold ideas at the intersection of fundamental physics and transformative applications.
