QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

David Guedj replaces Werner Steinhögl as our PO. We look forward to a fruitful cooperation!

After the successful Industry Sessions held at the previous QIPC meetings in Barcelona’07 and Rome’09, the event at QIPC'11 again offered a platform for exchanges between academic researchers and industry leaders.

There were presentations by Dr. Bruno Michel, from IBM Research, Zürich, who talked about 'Computing after scaling: New computation paradigms', and Dr. Grégoire Ribordy, CEO of ID Quantique, who are celebrating their 10th anniversary this year. The title of his presentation was accordingly 'Commercializing QITechnology for 10 years'.

A dedicated channel on youtube to collect popular video clips on key scientific ideas explored within QIPC. This is sponsored by projects funded by FP6 and FP7 programs of the European Commission.

The consultation was initiated by Horizon 2020 - the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation. The QUIE2T position paper is available from here.

QUIE2T was represented with an exhibit at the Commission’s fet11 conference taking place from 4 to 6 of May in Budapest. As part of the activities the attached project flyer that served as a press release was distributed at the conference.

QUIE2T was represented at the Commission’s fet11 conference taking place from 4 to 6 of May in Budapest. An exhibit proposal that was submitted in response to a European Commissions call has been successfully evaluated and was among the 28 exhibition stands present at the conference. According to the commission, “fet11 is a unique conference on visionary, high-risk and long-term research in information science and technology.
