EPIC Meeting on Single-Photon Sources and Detectors at Laser World of Photonics

Home Events Past Events

26 April 2022 / 10:00 - 12:00

Munich, Germany

The power hidden in one single photon is unprecedented. But we need to find ways to harness that power. During this session, we will discuss cutting-edge technologies paving the way for versatile and efficient pure single-photon sources and detection schemes with low dark count rates, high saturation levels, and high detection efficiencies.

10:00 – 10:10 Welcoming words by EPIC

10:10 – 11:30 Presentations & Discussions

Optical Key Building-blocks for Quantum Applications
Lola Courtillat, EU Project Manager at AUREA Technology

Quantum Key Distribution in real Telecommunications Networks
Claudia De Lazzari, Quantum Cryptographer at QTI

A Snapshot of Single Photon Applications
David Armstrong, Business Development Manager at Fraunhofer CAP

Building Optical Quantum Computers with Solid-state Single-photon Sources
Niccolo Somaschi, Co-Founder at Quandela

11:30 – 12:00 Networking Coffee Break

Venue: Conference room B61, 1st floor of B6 hall, Messe Munich

Lola Courtillat has a Master of Sciences in Photonics from the Institut d’Optique Graduate School (Paris, France) with a double cursus at KTH (Stockholm, Sweden). With a previous experience as Project Manager in Opticsvalley and then, as Coordinator of the Optics & Photonics Hub of Systematic Paris-Region, she has a strong experience in both European (LaserGo Global, FoodPackLab, SME Instrument) and national (IOT4U, PSPC, ANR…) projects.
