About the Conference


QEC25 marks the 7th International Conference on Quantum Error Correction, a prestigious biennial event that has been a cornerstone of the quantum research community since its inception in 2007. Previous editions have been hosted in leading international cities, including Los Angeles, California; Zurich, Switzerland; Washington, District of Columbia; London, UK; and Sydney, Australia. For the 2025 edition, the conference returns to the United States, proudly hosted by the Yale Quantum Institute.

This conference will convene distinguished experts from academia and industry to explore cutting-edge research in theoretical, experimental, and technological advancements towards achieving robust quantum computation. Key topics will include quantum control, error correction, fault tolerance, and their intersection with physics, computer science, and technology.

Scheduled from Monday, August 11 to Friday, August 15, 2025, QEC25 will take place at the Yale Quantum Institute in New Haven, with an anticipated attendance of 400 quantum researchers. A tutorial session will be offered for students and anyone interested the day before, on Sunday, August 10, 2025.

This conference is following the rules and recommendations listed in the QEC Charter here.


Travel


Yale is located in New Haven, Connecticut, one of the best small cities in America, situated two-and-a-half hours south of Boston and one-and-a-half hours north of New York City. New Haven has many attractions including a thriving downtown district with parks, shops, museums, hotels, and restaurants. Its neighborhoods are home to historic buildings and diverse communities. Beyond the city limits lie beautiful beaches, peaceful lakes, charming New England towns, and pastoral suburbs. New Haven is easily accessible by car, train, bus, and airplane.





Airplane

If coming from abroad, the easiest way to travel to Yale University is by air. There are a number of nearby airports serviced by international airlines.

Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Windsor Locks, Connecticut

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City

LaGuardia International Airport (LGA) in New York City

Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) in Newark, New Jersey

Tweed New Haven Airport (HVN) in New Haven, Connecticut

Amtrak provides services from Newark airport to New Haven’s Union Station. For all other airports, private shuttle services are available through Connecticut Limousine (800.472.5466) and GO Airport Shuttle (866.284.3247). Please be sure to make reservations for shuttle services well in advance. Taking a taxi from any of these airports except for Tweed is not recommended.



Train

If traveling from within the United States, it is convenient to take a train to New Haven Union Station, minutes from Yale’s campus.

Metro-North Railways (800.638.7647) offers frequent train service between New Haven and New York City.

Amtrak (800.872.7245) provides train service to New Haven from Vermont, Providence, Boston, and Washington DC.

Once you reach the station, we suggest that you use a local taxi service to reach campus. There is a taxi stand at the station; a taxi ride costs approximately $10. Alternatively, local shuttles and bus services are also available for travel between Union Station and Yale.
