Quantiki

One day workshop in Sheffield on quantum technologies. We have experts from Yorkshire and beyond speaking on how quantum physics can be harnessed for high-performance computing, cryptography, gravitational sensing, optical imaging, and more. The last year has seen a surge of interest and investment in quantum technologies, and this workshop will survey these topics with emphasis on research happening regionally. QuTe is organized by post-graduate researchers from Sheffield Physics. Attendance is free, but prompt registration is required to arrange catering.

The study of quantum coherent dynamics is currently one of the most active and exciting areas in physics. It holds the promise for the development of new technologies (quantum computing, quantum metrology,...) and, at the same time, has already delivered insights into the foundations of quantum mechanics. Its fast moving pace, in both theory and experiment, has attracted many young researchers and summer schools have become an integral part of the education and networking of students.

The interdisciplinary workshop "High-dimensional problems and quantum physics" will take place in Paris (Universite Paris-Est Marne-La-Vallee) from 8 to 10 June 2015. The aim is to bring together statisticians, analysts, and physicists working on statistical aspects of quantum theory, to discuss exchange ideas on current research, with an emphasis on large dimensional problems.

The 71st Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics will be held at the University of Strathclyde 21st July to 2nd August 2015. The official website is sussp71.phys.strath.ac.uk

The last 25 years have seen a shift in the emphasis of fundamental quantum physics theory and experiments, from simply generating and measuring quantum systems towards the purposeful control and manipulation of their dynamics. The main drivers for this are the rapidly-developing fields related to quantum technologies. These include metrology and sensing, as well as quantum simulation and computation.
