Programmable Photonic Quantum Computers

9-13 September 2024, Gebze, Türkiye

Between September 9 and 13, 2024, the TÜBİTAK Research Institute of Fundamental Sciences (TBAE) will organize the "Programmable Quantum Photonic Computers Fall School 2024 (TBAE PQPC'24)." This school aims to provide the necessary theoretical and experimental background for students aspiring to pursue postgraduate studies in quantum photonic computation, as well as for those already actively working in this field. The fall school will cover fundamental theoretical and experimental courses on a range of topics, including Quantum Optics, Components of Photonic Computers, Quantum Information Theory, Interferometers and Single Photon Sources, Quantum States and Measurements, Quantum Algorithms, Photodetectors and Quantum State Detection, Quantum Error Correction, Linear Optical Quantum Computing, Quantum Communication and Entanglement, Measurement-Based Quantum Computing, Programmable Photonic Quantum Computers (PQCs), Design and Simulation Steps of PQCs, Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), Nonlinear Optical Effects in PICs, Quantum Interconnects and Networks, and Techniques for Characterizing PICs. These courses will be given by leading instructors from various universities, both domestic and international. You can apply to the TBAE PPQC'24 Fall School for either Face-to-Face (F2F, limited to 50 people selected from the pool of applicants) or Online participation via Zoom.
