Symposium Overview

ISNTT is an international school and symposium in the field of nanoscale/quantum devices and quantum technologies. The school and symposium are hosted by NTT Basic Research Laboratories (BRL) at the NTT Atsugi R&D Center, Kanagawa, Japan. The first symposium was held in March 2000 and its scope and name evolved into its present form in 2009. The symposium is held biennially and it brings together leading researchers and students from academia and industry, along with members of NTT BRL, to foster communication and collaboration.

The BRL School was first held in 2002 and it hosts a series of tutorial lectures given by internationally renowned academics and/or scientists. The BRL School is also held biennially and the theme of the school continuously evolves with emphasis on the latest topics and trends.

BRL School

The BRL School will be held as a part of ISNTT 2026. The theme of the school will be Superconducting Quantum Devices and Nanomechanical Systems.

Student Award

ISNTT2026 will have a student poster award. The award will be given to a limited number of students who give outstanding poster presentations. The selection will be based on the context of the research, technical content, and presentation quality. The award presentation will take place during the banquet.
