Research Group Meetings on Quantum Technologies

Quantum technologies are emerging as a new frontier of science and engineering, with potential applications in various fields such as communication, computation, metrology, and sensing. The development of quantum technologies requires the convergence of leading experiments and theoretical research, as well as the collaboration and exchange of ideas among different communities and regions.

ICTP-SAIFR is promoting one-day meetings (to be run every 2 months) of the São Paulo community working in the related areas of quantum technologies, quantum information, and quantum computing. The idea is to have a light schedule, with a couple of talks and plenty of time for discussion. The main purpose is to explore the synergies between different groups and between experimental and theoretical researchers.

Main organizer:

• Gustavo Wiederhecker (Unicamp)

Co-organizers: 

• Marcos Cesar de Oliveira (Unicamp) & Dario Rosa (ICTP-SAIFR/IFT-UNESP)  – Quantum Processing
• Sergio Muniz (IFSC-USP) & Raul Celistrino (UFSCar) – Quantum Sensing
• Barbara Amaral (USP) & Marcelo Martinelli (USP)  – Quantum Communications
• Rodrigo Capaz (UFRJ) & Gustavo Wiederhecker (Unicamp) – Critical Infrastructure for building Quantum Devices
• Eduardo Miranda (Unicamp) & Vitor Quito (IFSC-USP)  – Emergent Quantum Phenomena in Condensed Matter Physics
