The development of technologies for the 21st century, coupled with fundamental scientific inquiry, is driving new theoretical and experimental research on control in quantum systems. Experience has shown that systematic use of quantum control theory leads to significant improvements in technologies ranging from magnetic resonance to prototype quantum computers. Compelling case studies of quantum control have been developed in wide-ranging fields such as chemistry, metrology, optical networking and computer science.
This is the 12th international workshop on Principles and Applications for Control of Quantum Systems. The first workshop of that name was held at the California Institute of Technology in 2004. We retain its basic aim: to bring together researchers in physics, control theory, dynamical systems, stochastics, signal processing and information science to strengthen the community of quantum control.
As in previous workshops, all lectures will be from invited speakers and will present recent developments at the forefronts of theoretical research, experimentation and motivating applications.
The 2018 conference is taking place at the Institut Henri Poincaré, in Paris, from Monday, July 2, to Friday, July 6, 2018. Poster sessions will be held in the afternoon of the second, third and fourth days. There will also be a cocktail reception organized on Thursday evening (at 6:30 pm) at the top of the “Tour Zamansky” on the Jussieu campus.
