ICQMAP-2026

About the Conference

The International Conference on Quantum Materials, Photonics, and Advanced Energy Physics (ICQMAP 2026) aims to unite leading researchers, scientists, and academicians to exchange and share their experiences and research results in all aspects of modern physics and advanced materials.

ICQMAP 2026 will serve as an interdisciplinary platform to present and discuss recent innovations, trends, and practical challenges encountered in the fields of quantum materials, photonic devices, nanomaterials, plasma physics, and quantum computing. The conference particularly emphasizes the fundamental physical mechanisms underlying optical, electronic, and quantum processes in emerging materials and devices for next-generation energy and sensing applications.

All accepted and peer-reviewed papers will be submitted for publication consideration in the Springer Proceeding in Physics (SPP).

Key objectives include:

Promoting the development of physics-based solutions for sustainable energy and advanced materials.

Strengthening collaboration across quantum science, nanotechnology, and plasma physics.

Encouraging young researchers to explore modern experimental and computational techniques in applied physics.

Facilitating Springer Proceeding in Physics (SPP) publication for peer-reviewed, original research contributions.

All accepted and presented papers will undergo rigorous peer review and will be published in Springer Proceeding in Physics.
