Symposia Day (CAP) - Private Sector Physicists

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

The narrow beam divergence of an optical communication link results in low probability of interference, improved privacy, and licence-free operation. It also allows significantly higher data rates than traditional RF communication, with lower power consumption. These advantages are of interest for satellite mission applications such as deep-space communication and earth observation satellites...

For the last 20-30 years, quantitative finance has been a prime destination for physicists moving away from academic careers and to modeling of an increasingly complex financial system. During the 2008 financial crisis the role of physicists and mathematicians promised to be redefined in risk management: What could physicists do to prevent the next financial crisis? Did they cause the last...
