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

Aims and organization of the Colloquium

The GDR IQFA organises its 6^th Colloquium at the Institut d’Optique Graduate School.

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 3 communication modes :

Tutorial talks (1h), having a clear pedagogical purpose, on the very foundations and most advanced applications of the field;
Contributed 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;.
