The Quantum Science & Technology Mini-Symposium program highlights state-of-the-art advances in quantum science and associated applications, ranging from advances in Quantum Systems for Computing applications to solutions enabled by quantum sensing or quantum phenomena. Our diverse international community includes researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry covering topics extending from superconducting qubits, color centers, ion traps, and quantum metrology as well as supporting technology of single photon amplifiers, multiplexers, and advances in cryogenic systems, vacuum technology, microwave to optical conversion schemes, etc. Challenges in achieving high-performance quantum devices and making precision measurements using quantum systems are a key focus of our talks. We also highlight recent advances and challenges in quantum science and information processing, achieving higher coherence qubits and SiC, diamond, and related materials for quantum information sciences. One of the exciting features of this year’s program is that we have been able to combine our program with the established divisions at AVS.
The program extends over two and a half days and includes oral sessions in the morning and afternoon. We start our week with talks on Materials for Quantum Computation and Quantum together with Thin Films (TF). The afternoon session will feature our key advances in Systems and Devices for Quantum Computing with our speakers highlighting recent advances. On Tuesday, we will explore SiC, Diamond, and Related Materials for Quantum Information, jointly with the Electronics Materials Division (EM). The afternoon will feature a joint session with the Surface Science Division (SS) on The Quantum Metrology Revolution. We will conclude our Mini-Symposium on Wednesday on a series of talks with the Vacuum Technology Division (VT) on Vacuum Technology for Quantum Applications.
We also believe that many of our attendees will be excited to visit talks in the other sessions of Thin Films (TF), Electronic Materials (EM), Surface Science (SS), and Vacuum Technology (VT) throughout the remainder of the week. Although the motivation may be different, many observations, phenomena, and effects reported may also apply to quantum applications and vice versa.
Each session includes one or more invited lectures given by a well-recognized subject matter expert along with numerous contributed talks. Our aim is that while this field is new and exciting yet sometimes mystical, researchers can orient themselves based on their traditional skills, gain understanding and see what their path to quantum technology may look like.
