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:
http://www.iesl.forth.gr/conferences/Rydberg
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
Dear Colleagues,
We are organizing a half-day
Workshop on Complex Quantum Networks
http://qunet.phys-info.org/
on 11 June 2018, in Paris, France,
as a satellite workshop of NetSci 2018, the most important international conference on Network Science.
Topics of special interest to this workshop are:
- Quantum communication networks
- Detecting the presence of quantum effects in networks
- Quantum network control
This workshop is intended to discuss recent progress and challenges in the physical implementation of quantum science (e.g. quantum information and computation, simulation, cryptography, metrology, foundations, etc.).
