The United Nations proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. This symposium aims to cover many of the exciting new developments in the field, particularly those related to quantum communication and photonics for quantum computing.
Talks will discuss:
- Enabling technologies such as single photon detectors, single-photon and entangled-photon sources, quantum repeaters and memories, quantum photonic integrated circuit platforms, and their impact on architectures and protocols;
- Continuous and discrete variable (CV and DV)-based quantum communication and cryptographic systems, interoperability and integration in communication networks and attempts at hybrid-encoding; and
- Emerging application spaces such as free-space and satellite based quantum communication.
