Quantum Optics and Nanophotonics Winter School

15 - 17 January 2024 - University of Sheffield, UK

This 3-day Winter School is organised by the Quantum Physics and Technology Group in the Department of Physics & Astronomy and Sheffield Quantum Centre at the University of Sheffield.
The Winter School will focus on wavelength-scale structures for tailoring photon propagation and emission as well as control, generation and detection of quantum light; novel materials for (quantum) nanophotonics; strong light-matter interaction; spins and spin-photon interface in semiconductor quantum dots and solid state defects.
The school will consist of lectures by leading researchers and poster sessions by the school attendees - see details in the Programme.
The school is open for all researchers from a PhD student level.
