The International Conference on Quantum Computing and Quantum Technology is a three-day event held in Berlin, Germany, organised under the theme of transforming global innovation through quantum computing and quantum technologies. The programme is built from close to thirty scientific sessions spanning quantum algorithms, quantum hardware and device engineering, quantum communication, post-quantum and quantum cryptography, quantum sensing, and the emerging set of real-world applications in materials science, optimisation and finance. The format combines keynote lectures from established researchers with contributed oral presentations and poster sessions, giving early-career researchers a route onto the programme alongside senior figures. The audience mixes university research groups, national laboratory teams and the research arms of companies commercialising quantum hardware and software. Attendees gain a broad cross-section of the field in a single venue, which is valuable given how rapidly the discipline is fragmenting into specialised sub-communities. For researchers and technology strategists tracking quantum developments from a European base, this quantum computing conference in Berlin offers accessible, wide-ranging coverage.
A quantum technology conference in early March catches Berlin at its most functional rather than its most photogenic: grey skies, four to eight degrees, and the city working rather than performing. That suits a research audience. The academic institutions here run deep, with Humboldt, TU Berlin and the Max Planck network all within reach, and the scientific quarter around Charlottenburg and Adlershof provides useful context for delegates extending their stay.
All flights use Berlin Brandenburg (BER), 25km to the south-east. The FEX express train covers the distance to Hauptbahnhof in roughly half an hour, with the S9 offering a slower but more frequent alternative. Berlin is also a major European rail node with direct services from Munich, Amsterdam and Warsaw. A single AB or ABC transit ticket covers U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tram and bus interchangeably.

German data speeds are reliable in central districts, though older U-Bahn tunnels still have gaps. Securing an eSIM ahead of arrival spares delegates the hunt for a SIM vendor on a March weekday. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Technikmuseum Berlin. A large museum of science and technology in Kreuzberg covering aviation, rail, computing and industrial machinery, with a hands-on Spectrum science centre attached. It is a natural fit for a research audience and works well in poor weather. Three hours; the locomotive halls alone take one.
Charlottenburg Palace. The largest surviving Hohenzollern palace in Berlin, west of the centre, with baroque state rooms and formal gardens. March visits mean bare gardens but no queues at all. The Neuer Flugel apartments are the more rewarding half. Ninety minutes; reachable on the U7 to Richard-Wagner-Platz. Tickets on Go City →
Reichstag dome. Norman Foster's glass dome above the German parliament, spiralling up to a viewing platform over the government quarter. Entry is free but requires online registration days in advance, with passport details. Early March dusk slots give the best light. Allow an hour including security.
Prenzlauer Berg cafes. A largely intact nineteenth-century district north of Mitte, its Kollwitzplatz and Helmholtzplatz squares ringed by independent bakeries and cafes that stay busy through winter. It is the practical answer to where to work between conference days. Two hours; take the U2 to Eberswalder Strasse.
What is March weather like in Berlin?
Cold and changeable, generally 1-9C with frequent cloud and occasional sleet. Daylight is lengthening but a proper winter coat is still needed, particularly in the mornings.
How far is BER airport from the conference districts?
Around 25km south-east of the centre. The FEX express train reaches Hauptbahnhof in about 30 minutes; buy an ABC-zone ticket because the airport lies in zone C.
Is English sufficient for a short research visit?
Yes. English is widely spoken in Berlin's academic institutions, hotels and restaurants, and public transport signage includes English. A few German phrases are appreciated but not required.
