PRACQSYS 2019 : Principles and Applications of Control in Quantum Systems
14-18 December 2019
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
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 13th international workshop on Principles and Applications of Control in 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 2019 conference is taking place at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, from Saturday, December 14, to Wednesday, December 18, 2019. Poster sessions will be held in the afternoon of the second, third and fourth days.
