Every industry has moments when progress accelerates, not only because of technological breakthroughs, but because of the people who come together to shape them. Within quantum technology, Resonance has quietly grown into one of those moments.
As the APS Global Physics Summit 2026 approaches, the Resonance quantum community event returns for its third year, continuing a partner-led tradition that has become a cornerstone for community-driven connection across the quantum ecosystem.
Resonance III: Organized by the Quantum Community, for the Quantum Community
Resonance III is a partner-led community initiative that reflects the shared commitment of the quantum ecosystem to grow together. This year, the event is co-hosted by 28 quantum organizations, representing one of the most collaborative efforts yet. Each co-host contributes to creating an environment that prioritizes connection over promotion, discussion over presentation, and relationships over transactions.
The philosophy behind Resonance remains intentionally simple. The event is informal and designed to create space for genuine dialogue. It offers a setting where conversations that begin on the APS Global Physics Summit conference floor can continue in a more relaxed and social atmosphere, where new collaborations often begin, and long-standing partnerships are strengthened.
To preserve this atmosphere, Resonance III continues to be invitation-only, ensuring the environment remains open, approachable, and focused on meaningful engagement.
A Third Year From a Spark to a Shared Signal
2024: The Spark
Resonance began as an idea in 2024 to create a space at the APS March Meeting for the quantum community to connect beyond conference talks, presentations, and formal meetings. Just conversation, curiosity, and connection. The first Resonance brought more than 500 attendees into an arcade bar in Minneapolis. It was loud, lively, and unexpectedly powerful. The community showed up and kept talking about it long after the APS March Meeting ended. Check out the media from the 2024 event here.
2025: The Amplification
What started as an experiment in 2024 quickly grew into a tradition. By 2025, that initial spark had gained momentum in Anaheim. Resonance II expanded both in scale and participation, bringing together 18 co-host industry partners and welcoming even more members of the global quantum community. The energy was unmistakable: a DJ set from a quantum physicist, spontaneous debates over arcade games, and a crowd that stayed until the lights came on. The event didn’t just return — it resonated. To feel it for yourself, explore the media from last year’s celebration and step back into the vibe.
2026: The Evolution
Now, in 2026, Resonance enters its third chapter—and with it, the event reflects the growing maturity, scale, and collaborative spirit of the quantum field itself. Resonance III builds on that foundation with a broader coalition and a new dimension of community engagement that stretches across the entire APS Global Physics Summit 2026 week.
Expanding Resonance Beyond an Evening
One of the defining additions for 2026 is the expansion of Resonance beyond the physical event itself. This year introduces the Resonance at APS Networking Community on WhatsApp, an initiative designed to support connections throughout the entire APS Global Physics Summit 2026.
Open to the full quantum community attending the summit, the networking community adds a new dimension to how attendees interact and collaborate during the week. By creating a shared digital meeting place, it lowers the barriers to spontaneous introductions, helps participants stay informed, and supports ongoing conversation across disciplines and organisations.
In the quantum community, you’ll find:
- A dedicated announcements channel providing real-time updates on notable sessions, activities, and opportunities across the APS Global Physics Summit 2026.
- An open networking chat that encourages direct introductions, live meet-ups, and continued discussions throughout the summit.
- Topic-focused discussions centered around Quantum Computing, Quantum Communications, and Quantum Sensing, enabling deeper engagement across specialized domains.
By complementing the in-person event with continuous digital interaction, Resonance III reflects the evolving ways in which the quantum community connects and collaborates globally.
