Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

An exciting frontier in quantum information science is the creation and manipulation of quantum systems that are built and controlled quanta-by-quanta. In this context, there is active research worldwide to achieve lithographic quantum optical circuits, for which atoms are trapped in nanoscopic dielectric structures and wired by photons propagating through complex circuit elements. I will...

Global-scale distances for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) can be achieved by utilizing an orbiting satellite acting as an intermediate node between two or more ground stations as has been recently demonstrated with the Chinese satellite Micius and there are further missions to follow from various countries including Canada (QEYSSat). Each of these missions have different methods to implement...
