Convergence QL:Workshop on Quantum Elements of Secure Communication

Virginia Polytechnic Institute And State University, Blacksburg VA

Investigators

Abstract

This workshop brings together researchers to discuss current topics and trends in quantum communications. This meeting addresses a central issue belonging to the NSF's Quantum Leap Big Idea, related to development of secure and scalable modes of communication based on quantum phenomena. Participants come from a diverse pool of convergent disciplines, ranging from chemistry, materials sciences, engineering to physics and quantum information. A post-meeting report is planned to summarize the current status and challenges in the field. Members of underrepresented groups and minorities will be encouraged to apply.
