Québec welcomes QED-C for the second plenary meeting of 2024
Over two dynamic days in Montréal, QED-C members and special guests delved deep into the global quantum industry. From riveting keynote addresses to thought-provoking panel discussions, and vibrant exchanges among peers, the event buzzed with insights and innovation. Together, we explored the cutting edge of quantum technology, sparking new ideas and forging crucial connections that promise to shape the future of our field.
Mark Tolbert, CEO of TOPTICA Photonics Inc., joins us to share insights into commercializing quantum hardware and transitioning intellectual property from R&D to market. Discover the critical roles of service operations and R&D teams in optimizing quantum products and supporting industry needs.
Dr. Steven Jefferts will introduce atomic clocks, their applications in national security, and the latest advancements in this field. This two-part series aims to equip those with an upper-level undergraduate technical background to understand, appreciate, and engage in strategic discussions involving these advanced quantum sensors.
This event feature presentations on quantum emitters and atomic optical antennas from student/post-doc researchers at University of Chicago and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, followed by a Q&A. This public event is a great place to find elite quantum talent entering the workforce.
Interested in a career in quantum information science and technology (QIST) or learning more about this emerging technology? The QED-C Office Hours program offers students the opportunity to meet one-on-one with current practitioners in QIST. Register today for the July session.
Modular QKD Systems for Secure Mobile Platform Communication in Multi-Link Configurations
July 31 | 2:00pm - 3:00pm ET Member event
Hosted by the Use Cases TAC, this event features guest speaker Andrew Conrad, Electrical Engineering PhD student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign as he discusses his work on modular quantum systems for secure communication between mobile platforms: Drone-to-drone, drone-to-vehicle, and vehicle-to-vehicle.
In Rydberg Receivers Part I, Professor Thomas F. Gallagher explained what a Rydberg atom is, provided a brief history of microwave and FIR radiation detection, introduced electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT), and discussed the detection of microwaves using Rydberg EIT.
Public Event Dr. Chris Holloway introduced the key performance parameters used to measure the quality of a Rydberg receiver and discussed how these parameters are weighted for various applications. He also compared the performance of Rydberg receivers with traditional technologies.
Dr. Meyer overviewed the state-of-the-art within the Rydberg receiver community and ongoing challenges. He discussed his work at the Army Research Laboratory and his hopes for the future of Rydberg receiver performance.
Microelectronics Commons is a CHIPS and Science Act-funded national network for onshore, microelectronics hardware focused prototyping, lab-to-fab transition of semiconductor technologies and semiconductor workforce training. This Call for Topics (CFT) describes the desired technical ideas for which project proposals are being sought.
