Civiq participates in the European Quantum Technologies Conference – EQTC 2021

/in , /by

Since its launch in 2018, the Quantum Flagship organizes every 18 months the European Quantum Technologies Conference (EQTC), which aims to bring together quantum experts from Europe and beyond. Researchers, engineers, industry and policymakers have the opportunity to share their ideas, know-how, present discoveries, and exchange theories, techniques and approaches, creating a networking environment to push the advancement of quantum technologies to a higher level and position Europe as one of the front runners in the development of these technologies.

The first edition of the event was celebrated in Grenoble in November of 2019. The second edition of EQTC was meant to be an in-person event hosted in the Convention Center Dublin, in the Dublin Docklands, Ireland. However, the global COVID situation ended affecting the organization of this event, postponing it for a year and bringing it back on track and ready to take place in a virtual format under the name of EQTC2021.

The first day of the event was dedicated mainly to welcoming all participants to the conference and giving an overall view of the progress in the field within Europe. There were presentations by the Irish local organizing and government institutions, as well as keynote speeches by quantum experts and a session given by the European Commission addressing the current scenario, the strategies being implemented and the future visions of Europe in quantum technologies.

Then, the following three days of the event were dedicated to the scientific advancements in the field. Participants highlighted the most prominent and recent advances across the fields of basic sciences, communication, computing, simulation and sensing/metrology with more than 15 Plenary and Keynote presentations, 27 Parallel Sessions with over 100 scientific talks, 11 workshops organized by different institutions and companies and over 150 posters.

Among all the presentations and poster sessions, CiviQ was present in the following talks and poster sessions

 

  • Prof. Eleni Diamanti – Keynote Speaker of Quantum Communications on Monday Nov 29, 2021
  • Prof. Antonio Acín –Moderator of the Keynote Presentations on Monday Nov 29, 2021
  • Ms Jennifer Aldama – Poster Presentation – Experimental Characterization of an InP-based PIC Transmitter for CV-QKD Applications
