Quantum technology from fundamental science to real world applications
2-7 October 2023 - Postgraduate summer school at Ettore Majorana Foundation in Erice, Sicily
For selected participants: formal registration is now open!
Scope of the school
The school aims at forming PhD students by offering them a broad overview from fundamental physics to out-of-the-lab applications. Well-recognized researchers from solid-state, quantum information to atomic physics will provide the fundamental science aspects, while entrepreneurs and scientists in research and development will discuss the industrial opportunities of quantum technologies. The training will give the PhD students a unique view on state-of-the-art quantum experiments and their applications, together with industrial outlooks, with a particular focus on photon-based qubits.
Program and speakers
The speakers have been selected for their world leading expertise covering the whole spectrum of quantum technologies. See the full list of confirmed speakers and the covered topics in this page.
Venue
The school is hosted by the Ettore Majorana foundation providing both the rooms for the lectures and accomodation for the attendees in the stunning sicilian medieval town of Erice. Learn more about the venue here.
Sponsors
The school is co-financed by public institutions as well as industrues operating in the quantum technologies sector. Some of the sponsors will hold demonstrations of their products during the school. The full list of sponsors can be found here.
Organizers
The school is organized by three researchers in the filed of quantum photonics: Simone Portalupi of the University of Stuttgart (DE), Rinaldo Trotta of the University of Roma "La Sapienza" (IT) and Daniele Bajoni of the University of Pavia (IT). Picture from the 2019 edition.
