GDR Quantum Engineering, from Fundamental Aspects to Applications (IQFA)

Aims and Organization of the colloquium

The GDR - IQFA organizes its 5^th, the first since it has been renewed by the CNRS, at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon.

In order to emphasize its opening-up to a broader community, the GDR organizes this colloquium in strong collaboration with the GDR Cold Atoms. This joint Colloquium has for main thematics Advances in Quantum Information & Simulations.

The main goal of this colloquium is to gather all the various communities working in Quantum Information, and to permit, along 3 days, to exchange on the recent advances in the field.

The colloquium will be organized along 4 communication modes:

Tutorial talks (1h), having a clear pedagogical purpose, on the very foundations and most advanced applications of the field;
Invited talks (30’) on the current hot topics within the strategic thematics (ARTs) identified by the GDR - IQFA. This year again, the Scientific Committee (see below) calls for poster contributions only. Among all the received poster contributions, the Committee will select a tens of them to be upgraded as oral/invited contributions;
Poster sessions to give the youngest the opportunity to present their work to the entire community, again within the strategic thematics (ARTs) indentified by the GDR - IQFA;
A Broad Audience Communication, given by Prof. Jean Dalibard (Collège de France), will provide both an overview and related perspectives on cold-atom based quantum systems.
