QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

The advent of the second quantum revolution continues to trigger worldwide the development of quantum technologies providing strategic capabilities for the security, health and wellbeing of our society.

We would like to announce the workshop: “Quantum Computing – From  Algorithms to Applications” to be held at the Universitätszentrum Obergurgl, 15.-19. April 2019 (Arrival Sunday 14th April, departure Saturday 20th April).

Quantum computers, once available for widespread use, will revolutionize the ways we generate and use new knowledge – of fundamental scientific nature and for a wide range of applications. The quest for a scalable quantum computer is as of yet largely driven by experts in physics and in computer science. The challenges posed by this task, however, will necessarily require in addition dedicated and target-driven efforts in engineering.

The scope of the workshop is to discuss impurity physics and transport in ultracold synthetic quantum matter as well as solid-state systems in order to find synergies among the different communities and to identify common goals.

In additional to presentations by young and senior researchers, we shall have parallel sessions consisting of small groups discussing specialised topics as well as identify new challenges and ideas for the field.

Ever growing demand for the capacity of optical communication systems calls for better understanding of their ultimate limits and more efficient strategies to utilise available resources. At the fundamental level, optical systems are described by quantum mechanics, which adopts a different view on the task of information transmission compared to the classical theory of electromagnetic waves: in the quantum mechanical description, data are carried in general by non-orthogonal quantum states rather than well defined macroscopic quantities such as the amplitude or the phase.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the
International Workshop on strongly interacting, open many-body systems
with the emphasis on the Rydberg atoms physics:

The dates of the Workshop are from 30 September till 3 October 2018,
with the scientific sessions starting on Monday 1 Oct morning and ending

We are very pleased to announce
