Workshop – Fundamental Physics in Space with Quantum Sensors

We are organizing an Aspen Center for Physics (ACP) winter workshop on Fundamental Physics in Space with Quantum Sensors, to be held February 22-27, 2026 in Aspen, Colorado, USA. The goal of this workshop is to bring together the fundamental physics, quantum sensor, and space instrument communities in order to brainstorm ideas for space missions with quantum sensors that can shed light on physics beyond the Standard Model. For more information, please see our conference website:
