Beginning of the ConferenceXV International Conference on Quantum Optics and Quantum Information organized by the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, B.I.Stepanov Institute of Physics of NAS of Belarus, and Belarusian Physical Society will be held on November 20-23, 2017 in the city of Minsk on the base of Presidium of NAS of Belarus and Hotel “Belarus”.
General idea of the conference is to bring together scientists and engineers from different fields (optics, atomic and molecular physics, solid state physics, computer science) which actively contribute to the field of Quantum Optics and Quantum information.
The traditional style for this Conference is the oral presentations followed by rather informal discussions during poster sessions. This International Conference will be the next one of a series of very successful meetings that were held during the last 30 years in Minsk, Vilnius and in Kyiv.
If you have joint projects with quantum optics and quantum information scientists in the FSU or plan to start such an activity, it is a good chance to choose this event for your local meeting with colleagues.
The main topics:
Devices and materials for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information:
- nanophotonics
- spintronics
- strong optical nonlinearities
- laser sources for quantum cryptography, including single photon sources and ultrashort pulse lasers
- single photon detectors
- single quantum objects (molecules, atoms, solid state impurities, quantum dots, electrons, electron and nuclear spins): detection, control and manipulation
- novel ultrafine processing techniques for QO and QI
Building hardware for scalable quantum computers
- trapped ions
- atomic systems (optical lattices)
- solid state systems
- photon-based quantum information processing
- molecular systems
Entanglement
- characterization, creation and detection
- entanglement in many-body systems
- metrology using entanglement
Quantum memory and quantum repeaters
Interfaces between photons and atomic qubits
Traditional Quantum optics problems, quantum imaging
Reconstruction of quantum states and processes
Quantum algorithms
Quantum simulations
Fiber-based and free-space QKD systems
