EPIC Online Technology Meeting on Photonics for Quantum Computers
Online Event



In this Online Technology Meeting on Photonics for Quantum Computers we’ll discuss the interplay between photonics and the quantum realm. Participants will discuss the role of Photonics in Quantum Computing, focusing on the new developments necessary, such as programmable PICs, single photon detectors, manipulation of single photons or co-packaging. And the discussion will explore state of the art quantum information processing technologies. Explore practical applications, from quantum cryptography to quantum simulations, and discover how photonics is accelerating the development of quantum computers poised to revolutionize industries and scientific discovery.
