Quantum Information Spring School

Photonic Quantum Technologies

May 20, 2024 - May 31, 2024

Les Houches, France


About

Our forthcoming PhD school will review diverse facets of contemporary photonic quantum technologies, ranging from foundational principles to practical applications. Starting from broad tutorials on quantum optics and light matter interactions, we will subsequently delve into the most recent progress and methods in quantum communication, simulation, computing, and sensing. Several seminars will be given by industry partners.

Welcome to the Quantum Information Spring School, a school on Photonic Quantum Technologies. From May 20, 2024 - May 31, 2024, this school will be held in Les Houches, France.
