Quantum week
Italiano
La Sapienza will host the QUANTUM WEEK, a series of events on Quantum Information and Quantum Technologies, from the 2nd to the 6th of April 2019. These events will be attended by 400 people from all around the world and the quantum week will have the following program:
- 2nd of April: Departmental seminar held at the Physics Department, aula Conversi (from 16:00 to 18:00) by Simone Montangero (Padova University), entitled “Quantum technologies for future scientific research”.
- 3rd of April: ESA workshop (from 9 am to 4 pm, aula Organi Collegiali, Rettorato), whose focus is on the application of Quantum Computing for downstream data processing and Earth Observation data exploitation. The workshop aims to prepare the ground for the opportunities that will be presented when the quantum community will be able to produce software for quantum-enhanced optimisation problems of direct use in big data management. https://www.quantumlab.it/qim2019/esa-workshop/
- 3rd of April: Quantum Leap: from academia to industry (from 3:30 am to 7 pm, aula Magna Regina Elena), which is intended for PhD students or young Post Doc researchers within the fields of quantum information and quantum optics, with the goal to give an overview over the job opportunities to which European young researchers can aim, outside academia. The invited speakers are former PhD students, that are currently employed in scientific journals editorship, optics hardware development and sale and software developments. https://www.quantumlab.it/qim2019/wednesday-3-april-2019-quantum-leap/
- 4th-6th of April: Quantum Information and measurement (QIM) V: quantum technologies, whose topics will cover the latest in theoretical developments and experimental implementations of quantum information technology, including the advanced engineering needed to realize such technologies. It will focus, besides quantum optics and photonics, also on other platforms for quantum technologies, broadly construed, including topics such as solid state systems (superconductors, semi-conductors), atoms and ions (including gravity gradiometers and gyroscopes, and computing and simulation engines). Keynote speakers: Markus Aspelmeyer (University of Vienna), optomechanical systems; Immanuel Bloch (Max Planck Institut für Quantenoptik), atomic systems; Jay Gambetta (IBM), superconducting systems; Dieter Jaksch (Oxford University), quantum simulation using hybrid computing; Dietrich Leibfried (NIST), ion traps; Nergis Mavalvala (MIT), gravitational wave detectors; Jian-Wei Pan (USTC), quantum communication and computing; Christine Silberhorn (university of Paderborn), quantum photonics. https://www.quantumlab.it/qim2019/
