To promote collaboration and advance the development of quantum photonics in the Baltic region and beyond, researchers and practitioners in quantum optics, integrated photonics, quantum communication, quantum computing and simulation, as well as quantum sensing and metrology will gather at an international conference at Riga Technical University (RTU) from 11 to 13 February.
Those interested in participating in the conference are invited to submit abstracts by 13 January. Notifications regarding acceptance will be sent by 20 January.
The conference will take place at the hall «The Moon» of the RTU Science and Innovation Centre, Ķīpsalas iela 6A, second floor. It is organised by the partners implementing the project «Towards a Quantum Photonics Centre of Excellence in Latvia» (ToEQPL): University of Latvia Institute of Solid State Physics, Riga Technical University, the University of Trento and the Troyes University of Technology.
Latvia has established a Quantum Initiative covering a range of research fields, including quantum algorithms, quantum electronics and photonics, in which Latvian scientists have achieved international recognition. To strengthen research capacity and promote knowledge transfer in quantum photonics technologies, the partners of the ToEQPL project are developing a comprehensive roadmap for the establishment of a quantum photonics centre of excellence in Latvia. Conferences and various educational and outreach activities are also being organised to reinforce the knowledge base in quantum photonics. Participation in the conference is free of charge.
The project is funded by the European Union’s research and innovation programme «Horizon Europe» (grant agreement No. 101160101).
