Photonics is the industrial backbone of quantum technologies, underpinning everything from quantum communication and sensing to scalable computing architectures. As the sector transitions from laboratory prototypes to real-world deployment, the focus in 2027 is shifting decisively toward manufacturability, integration, reliability, and supply chain readiness for practical quantum systems. Meeting these demands requires close collaboration across the value chain, from component suppliers to system integrators and end-users.

Hosted by Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology, the EPIC Technology Meeting on Photonics for Quantum Technologies will bring together photonics suppliers, quantum system developers, integrators, and end-users to address key industrial challenges, explore deployment opportunities, and strengthen Europe’s competitive position in quantum communication, sensing, and computing. The meeting will emphasize practical applications, strategic partnerships, and the critical role of photonics in accelerating the commercialization of quantum technologies. Participants can expect in-depth discussions on manufacturing readiness, component standardization, packaging and assembly challenges, as well as emerging opportunities in integrated quantum photonics. By fostering dialogue between technology developers and industry adopters, the meeting aims to identify concrete steps toward scalable and robust quantum systems ready for deployment in the industry.
