Welcome Message

Welcome to QD World!

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is my great pleasure to extend a warm invitation to you to attend the 13th International Conference on Quantum Dots (QD 2026), which will be held from May 17 to 22, 2026, at the Paradise Hotel in Busan, Korea.

Since its inception, the QD conference series has established itself as the premier global forum for discussing physics, chemistry, materials science, and interdisciplinary applications of quantum dots. Following the tradition of excellence set by previous meetings, QD 2026 aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and industrial experts to exchange ground-breaking ideas, share recent research achievements, and explore future directions in this rapidly evolving field.

This year’s conference will provide a comprehensive platform covering a wide range of topics, from fundamental optical and electronic properties to cutting-edge applications in displays, biotechnology, energy harvesting, and quantum information processing. The program will feature plenary and invited talks by distinguished scholars, as well as oral and poster sessions that highlight the latest innovations and practical challenges encountered in the field.

Busan, the host city for QD 2026, is a vibrant maritime metropolis that perfectly blends traditional Korean culture with modern dynamism. As Korea’s second-largest city and a hub of international trade and culture, Busan offers visitors a unique experience with its beautiful coastline, scenic cliffs, and famous beaches like Haeundae, where our venue is located. We hope you will take this opportunity not only to engage in stimulating scientific discussions but also to enjoy the breathtaking natural scenery and rich cultural heritage that Busan has to offer.

We are committed to making QD 2026 a scientifically rewarding and memorable event for all participants. Your presence and contribution will be crucial to the success of this conference, and we eagerly look forward to welcoming you to Busan in May 2026.

Sincerely yours,

Sungjee Kim, Dr., Prof.
