Joint TAMU-UT Workshop

SCHEDULE

The inaugural Joint TAMU-UT Workshop will be held in College Station, TX, January 15-16, 2025.

Call for Participation:

We are pleased to announce a Joint Quantum Science and Technology Workshop, a collaborative effort between Texas A&M University and the University of Texas at Austin. The workshop aims to bring together faculty members to foster dialogue, identify shared interests, and establish potential collaborations in key areas of quantum science and technology. This inaugural workshop will follow on the Physics of Quantum Electronics (PQE) colloquium held every winter for over fifty years.  The topics covered will focus on the overlap of those featured at this year’s PQE and topics of special interest to the members of the UT Quantum Institute.

Workshop Themes

The workshop will focus on the following areas:

  • Quantum Algorithms: Innovations and applications in quantum computing and algorithmic development.
  • Quantum Metrology: Advancing precision measurement techniques using quantum phenomena.
  • Quantum Sensing: Concepts and techniques; from remote sensing to super-resolution microscopy and quantum sensing at the nanoscale.
  • Quantum Optics Frontiers: Acceleration radiation and temperature; quantum thermodynamics; quantum optics in curved space-time and tests of quantum gravity.
  • Quantum Informatics: Cryptography; secure communication.
  • Quantum Coherence Phenomena: Electromagnetically induced transparency, lasing without inversion, applications of molecular coherence in enhanced sensing – from remote to nanoscale sensing (FAST CARS, FASTER CARS, etc).
  • Quantum Materials: Exploring novel materials for quantum applications.
  • Quantum Devices and Systems: Development and integration of technologies such as quantum photonics, circuits, and sensors.

Objectives:

  1. Exchange Expertise: Share experiences and insights from quantum institutes at UT-Austin and Texas A&M.
  2. Foster Collaboration: Identify and prioritize areas of shared interest among participants.
  3. Shape Future Support: Outline actionable recommendations for desirable state-level support for quantum science initiatives.

Who Should Attend?

Faculty members, researchers, and professionals engaged in quantum science and technology at both institutions are encouraged to participate.
