This meeting follows the 2024 FTPP Alabama International Plasma Physics Conference (AIAPC) – AI-Informed Plasma Physics: the Opportunities.  This meeting was held in Huntsville, Alabama, from October 28th to October 30th, 2024.  The meeting seeks to build on the exciting results from that meeting with an exploration of the intersection between plasma science and quantum science.   

The intersection of plasma physics and quantum processes offers a new frontier for both fields.  From the use of quantum entanglement as a means to diagnose plasmas to studying extreme plasma states where quantum processes are equally important as electromagnetic processes, there are new opportunities to explore the physics of plasmas in new regimes.

For this year, from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, Future Technologies and Enabling Plasma Processes (FTPP), in partnership with the Strategic Plasma Innovation Network (SPI-NET), invite you to join us for a workshop on “The intersection of plasma and quantum processes”.  This is intended to be a small meeting of ~40 to 50 researchers and students that will be brought together to explore this exciting new field.  We hope to bring together researchers with interests that can include:

• Quantum process in astrophysical plasmas

• High field laser science

• Diagnostic development using quantum process

• High energy density physics

• Ultra-cold plasmas

We strongly encourage postdocs, researchers, and students to attend. Travel support and a discounted student registration rate will be available upon request for students.
