The 11th edition of the International Workshop on “Engineering of Quantum Emitter Properties (EQEP) will take place in Grenoble, France, on 18 and 19 December, 2025. Located at the heart of the French Alps, Grenoble plays a prominent role for micro and nanotechnologies in France, being home of high-tech companies such as ST Microelectronics, SOITEC and LYNRED, as well as for research in nanosciences and quantum technologies, carried by CNRS, CEA, University Grenoble Alpes and the European synchrotron facility ESRF.  

Over the last 25 years, the development of solid-state quantum emitters of light such as the single photon source has fueled the rise of quantum photonics. Still, the most demanding applications, such as photonic quantum computing, require further progress regarding both the performances of individual sources and the ability to fabricate multiple sources that would exhibit identical properties in view of the scaling of quantum photonic systems.

EQEP aims at gathering once per year leading experts and young scientists involved in this challenging and lively field. It is the perfect forum to discuss recent advances, identify physical bottlenecks and mitigation strategies, and foster new collaborations between participants. EQEP 2025 will address more specifically recent developments on solid-state quantum emitters (extension of the emission wavelength to the telecom C band, quantum dots based on 2D materials, color centers in silicon…), the control of quantum emitter properties using external fields or the coupling to photonic microstructures and applications in the fields of quantum computing, communications and sensing with photons. This year, EQEP will be composed of around 25 invited talks and an interactive poster session, followed by lab tours. We expect about 100 participants from about 30 different research groups from Europe and Canada.
