XII International Conference on Quantum Optics and Quantum Information

Details: Published Date; Hits: 3007

The Lithuanian Physical Society, herbal Belarussian Physical Society, ailment Lithuanian Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Sciences of Belarus are organizing the XII International Conference on Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, what will be held on September 20-23, 2008, in Vilnius (Lithuania). During 20 years this event was held in Minsk, so for the first time it changed the venue.

Detailed information you can find at the conference website http://master.basnet.by/.

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, with one of conference evenings being usually devoted to the poster session. This International Conference will be the next one of a series of very successful meetings that were held in Minsk during the last 20 years in 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006.

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 include:

* Materials and devices for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information:

nanophotonics
spintronics
strong optical nonlinearities
laser sources for quantum cryptography, including single photon sources and ultrashort 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

* Fiber-based and free-space QKD systems
* Traditional Quantum optics problems, quantum imaging
* Entanglement

characterization, creation and detection
entanglement in many bodies systems
metrology using entanglement
