The CUbit Update - November 2020

March 1-3, 2021 | Düsseldorf Airport, Germany

QuApps 2021 will present and discuss relevant applications material properties and process technologies for quantum applications—from both the engineering and market points of view. Prominent keynote speakers will provide insights into potential markets and relevant technologies that will reach, or already have reached, market maturity. The range of topics extend from quantum applications in markets such as quantum sensing, processing of quantum materials, metrology or communication to peripheral and enabling technologies.

March 15-19, 2021 | Virtual Registration opens on December 7

Attendees representing 30 American Physical Society (APS) units and committees will convene for the 2021 APS March Meeting. Showcase your work for a global audience of physicists, scientists and students and explore groundbreaking research from industry, academia and major labs.

May 24–28, 2021 | Registration will open soon

There are many practical and theoretical challenges in the emerging area of quantum information and computing, which seeks to make effective use of the information embedded in the state of a quantum system, and promises to solve previously intractable computational problems and revolutionize simulation. The engineering ambition is two-fold. The first is to come up with computational hardware that sidesteps the physical limits on computational power of existing computer technologies, which are ultimately constrained by limits on the energy dissipated as the physical size of the building blocks of computational circuitry approaches a few nanometers. The second is the construction of ultrasensitive devices to detect biological and chemical changes. In parallel with the practical difficulties, new theory is required to understand the advantages and limitations of quantum media.
