In the International Year of Quantum Science and Technologies, this year’s MOEMS workshop will focus on the topic of “Key Technologies for Photonic Quantum Systems.” Experts from science, applied research, and industry will find a platform for exchange and new collaborations here. The focus will be on photonic quantum technology with the three core areas of components, assembly and connection technology, and quantum defects. The keynote address will be given by Dr. Robert Rölver from Q.ANT GmbH. The workshop will be accompanied by a table-top exhibition.
Quantum sciences and quantum technologies
Quantum sciences explore the fundamental properties and behaviors of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic level. These are based on the principles of quantum mechanics such as superposition, entanglement, and tunneling. Quantum technologies use these quantum physical effects to enable completely new technical applications. These can include, for example, quantum computers, quantum sensors, or devices for quantum communication and quantum cryptography. In general, quantum technologies are considered to be forward-looking and promise significant advances in computer science, medicine, communication, and industrial manufacturing.
Quantum technologies are based on the quantum states of individual atoms, individual ions, individual defects in semiconductor materials, or individual photons, which must be precisely adjusted and manipulated. The particular challenge in dealing with quantum technologies therefore lies in the smallness of the signals that need to be detected, in integrating them into an environment that is as interference-free as possible, or in the further miniaturization of complex components. The workshop will address these topics.
