QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

The Initial Training Network (ITN, European Marie Curie actions) PICQUE, for ‘Photonic Integrated Compound Quantum Encoding’, organizes its last scientific school on “Architectures for Quantum Photonic Circuits".

It notably concerns young fellows and will be held at the University Côte d’Azur in Nice, France, from the 8th to the 10th of February 2017.

 

The school will consist in a series of 8 courses (tutorials) that aim at providing the fundamentals of quantum engineering, including cryptography, sensing, computation, etc., relating them to specific implementations in photonics with emphasis on the added value of reconfigurable devices.

In addition, a series of 12 invited talks and 2 poster sessions are allocated for the participants to present their respective works and research topics.

 

The participation to the PICQUE Scientific school is free charge for the participants, however registration is mandatory.

- Registration and Abstract Submission can be done online at : https://picque-nice-17.sciencesconf.org

- Deadline for Registration & Abstract Submission: Monday the 9th of January 2017 at noon (Paris time).
