Over the last decade there has been significant advances in improving the coherence times of superconducting qubits. The aim of this workshop is to ensure that these advances continue for another decade by bringing together experts from the superconducting qubit community and the microwave kinetic inductance detector community (MKID) to speak on their latest results, freely exchange ideas, make suggestions and ask penetrating questions.
