The conference, a part of SPIE Optics + Optoelectronics meeting, is designed to bring together leading scientists in the field of quantum optics, quantum information processing, and quantum communication. It will offer an updated review of recent activities both in theoretical and experimental research. The programme will consist of oral and poster presentations on the following topics that include, but are not limited to:

Interfacing GHz-bandwidth heralded single photons with a room-temperature Raman quantum memory

Photonics is a promising platform for quantum technologies. However, photon sources and two-photon gates currently only operate probabilistically. Large-scale photonic processing will therefore be impossible without a multiplexing strategy to actively select successful events.

Entangled quantum systems have properties that have fundamentally overthrown the classical worldview. Increasing the complexity of entangled states by expanding their dimensionality allows the implementation of novel fundamental tests of nature, and moreover also enables genuinely new protocols for quantum information processing.

Specific challenge: Devices that exploit quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement have the potential to enable radically new technologies. Several promising directions are now well known, for instance in quantum computation and simulation, quantum communication, quantum metrology and sensing. However, overcoming basic scientific challenges as well as bridging from the scientific results to concrete engineering technologies has proved difficult.
