Session Information

This session will highlight the power of photonics to impact quantum technologies, from creating modular and photonic quantum computers, powerful sensors, to entangled communication links. New materials and platforms are of interest. For example, electro-optic and nonlinear materials, spin defects, 2D materials, interfaced atoms and ions, and superconducting interconnects are in scope. This session will also include heterogenous integration, cryogenic photonics, light sources, quantum control, collective emission and cavity QED.
