Quantum information is an exciting, rapidly growing area of scientific interest and development, attracting cutting-edge theoretical and experimental research worldwide. Its rapid development gave birth to a number of novel quantum applications that provide exciting perspective and opens new horizons in many areas of measurement and technology.

Optical methods play a key role in many implementations of quantum information and quantum technology. The conference topics will cover theoretical development and experimental implementation of qubits and quantum gates using optical, semiconductor, atomic, superconducting, and hybrid environments. Special emphasis will be given to fresh creative ideas targeting quantum information techniques and applications such as quantum metrology and sensors, quantum communication and networking, quantum memories and routers, quantum imaging, etc.

Topics:

  • Entanglement-enabled quantum technologies
  • Precise quantum measurement and quantum metrology
  • Non-classical light sources and novel detectors
  • Quantum imaging
  • Quantum sensors
  • Integrated and on-chip quantum devices
  • Quantum communication systems
  • Quantum optics of light-atom interactions
  • Quantum repeaters and quantum memory
  • Quantum nanomechanics and photonics
  • Quantum spintronics devices and applications

General Chairs

  • Robert Boyd, Univ. of Ottawa, Canada, and Univ. of Rochester, USA
  • Alexander Sergienko, Boston Univ., USA

Program Chairs

  • Janos Bergou, CUNY Hunter College, USA
  • Saverio Pascazio, Univ. of Bari, Italy
