Quantum optics has traditionally been rooted in atomic and optical physics, but is currently undergoing a rapid transformation. Ideas, concepts, and implementations of quantum optics are now being expanded to and strongly benefit from other areas of research including nanophotonics, optomechanics, and solid-state physics. The ultimate vision for quantum photonics is ‘the quantum internet’, which would provide remote distribution of quantum entanglement over global distances by photons. Towards such a goal, the distinct advantages of different platforms and disciplines need to be combined.
The symposium “Hybrid Approaches to Quantum-Information Processing” brings together world-leading experts within solid-state quantum optics, atomic physics, and quantum optomechanics. The conference is “Gordon-Research-style” with the purpose of stimulating scientific discussions and interactions in an informal atmosphere bringing together young researchers and experts.
The symposium is held in Copenhagen at the historic site of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. The symposium comprises invited talks, contributed talks, and poster presentations
