Nominations are now open for two awards in quantum technologies for early-career researchers. The two prizes from IOP Publishing, which publishes Physics World, are designed to recognise scientific excellence and to help support the development of scientists at the start of their careers.

The International Quantum Technology Early Career Scientist Award is open to scientists who have completed their PhD no more than eight years ago. The winner will recieve £2000 plus a certificate.

The International Quantum Technology Emerging Researcher Award, meanwhile, is aimed at scientists who completed their PhD no more than three years ago. They will receive £1000 and a certificate.

Both winners will be invited to give a lecture at World Quantum Day, which is being held on 14 April. They will also be invited to submit a perspective article based on their research to the IOP Publishing journal Quantum Science and Technology.  

The deadline for nominations is 15 March 2023, with applications being reviewed by an eight-strong committee chaired by Chaoyang Lu, a quantum physicist from the University of Science and Technology China (USTC), who is on the board of Quantum Science and Technology.

The two award winners will be announced on 14 April on World Quantum Day.
