National Quantum Science and Technology Symposium

[with a break on Sunday, 1st of August] The National Quantum Science and Technology Symposium, organized by IIIT Hyderabad, IEEE Quantum Initiative in association with Quantum Ecosystems Technology Council of India, to be held online from 26th July – 3rd August 2021 (with a break on Sunday, 1st of August), intends to achieve precisely this. Through talks delivered by the some of the best researchers in the country, from academia and industry, the symposium will cover diverse aspects of the field including state-of-the art theoretical and experimental advances, namely: Quantum Computation Quantum Communications Open Quantum System and Quantum Thermodynamics Quantum Information Quantum Foundation Quantum Cryptography Quantum Metrology Quantum Computing and Information Applications Quantum Measurement and Tomography Role of Quantum Computing in Industry Experimental Progress in Quantum Computing and Communications The overall composition of the symposium will consist of Keynote talks, plenary talks to introduce thematic areas to newcomers and students, research talks of specific research interests, talks from Industry which offer their perspective of the field, and Panel Discussions. The target audience will be broad: coming from diverse backgrounds, ranging from enthusiastic undergraduate students who would be introduced to the field through plenary talks to advanced researchers and postdocs who would benefit from attending technical research talks. Furthermore, the symposium will also benefit audience members who are interested in finding out the role of industries in the future of quantum technologies through a number of presentations from industry leaders. Finally, the Keynote talks would inform this diverse audience about the country’s future plans in the field of Quantum Technologies. Through this interaction between stakeholders from varied backgrounds, centred around quantum technologies, the goal of this symposium is to develop a quantum technology ecosystem that fosters cutting-edge research and innovation.
