The AVS 70 Quantum Science & Technology Mini-Symposium is poised to present the latest advancements and explore the future of quantum science and its diverse applications. This year’s AVS Symposium theme, “Innovating Sustainability: Next Generation Energy and Quantum Devices and Their Characterization,” highlights that quantum is a major focus for the international conference this year. Our global community, including academia, government labs, non-profit, and industry innovators, will explore topics from Solid State Quantum Computing to Quantum Internet, Power Distribution, and Quantum roadmap. Over four days, our program will feature oral sessions each morning and afternoon, featuring invited lectures by renowned experts and numerous insightful contributed talks.
Areas of Interest: Quantum Science and Technology is seeking abstracts in the following areas of interest:
- Solid State Quantum Computing – Materials for Quantum Computing and Quantum Materials: Monday morning will unfold with discussions on the latest materials driving quantum computation, including high-quality factors, and cutting-edge materials science. This session aims to foster interactions at the confluence of materials science and quantum technology.
- Quantum Sensors – NV Sensors, Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors (SNSPDs), Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs), and Supporting infrastructure: Next, we will highlight the advancements in quantum sensors, such as NV centers and superconducting detectors. Attendees will engage with presentations on innovative findings that are redefining sensing technologies.
- Quantum Internet, Power Distribution: The symposium will then transition to exploring quantum internet and power distribution infrastructure. This session will consist of talks related to the infrastructure that will revolutionize communication and energy distribution. Join a forward-thinking community pushing the boundaries of quantum networking and power systems that utilize quantum principles.
- Quantum Roadmap and Quantum-Inspired Materials: The roadmap for future quantum technologies will be discussed, with a focus on visionary strategies and materials inspired by quantum mechanics. This collaborative session is where the blueprint for future quantum advancements will be refined.
- NSF National Centers and Quantum Foundries: Be part of a session highlighting the important role of NSF MIP centers and Quantum foundries in advancing quantum research. Learn about the FREE access to state-of-the-art growth facilities, the availability of materials-on-demand, and the support in characterization and theory that these centers provide to the research community. Directors from the Quantum Foundry and the MIP center will discuss the services they offer and the research conducted at these centers. Here’s your chance to connect and leverage these facilities for your research endeavors.
- Atomic Qubits – Neutral Atoms and Trapped Ions: This session is dedicated to atomic qubits, where experts on neutral atoms, trapped ion technologies, and associated technologies such as optics, cryogenics, and surface science will present. It’s an opportunity to showcase research and engage with leaders at the forefront of quantum computing.
- Joint Sessions on Interdisciplinary Quantum Applications: We invite all participants to also attend the joint session on quantum science and technology with Electronic Materials, Optomechanics, Phononics, and Vacuum Technology. These sessions share a synergetic relationship of different fields with quantum applications. Each session is a mosaic of talks, where traditional skills meet the mystique of quantum science, offering clarity and direction for those navigating the quantum revolution. It’s in these gatherings that one often finds the unexpected connections, where traditional expertise meets the enigmatic world of quantum science, and new pathways emerge.
- Quantum Science and Technology Mini-Symposium Poster Session: This session will feature a range of posters presenting current research in quantum science and technology, providing an opportunity for detailed discussion and academic exchange.
Note: The Sunday Workshop and Panel on Quantum Industry & Workforce Development will kickstart the event, featuring invited speakers. While this workshop is not open for abstract submissions, it remains a crucial part of our program. It offers a unique opportunity to hear from experts in academia, government labs, non-profits, and industry about developments in various sectors, followed by a panel discussion addressing groundbreaking questions in quantum. Please join us at the AQS Workshop on Sunday to gain insights from this all-invited lineup.
