March 23rd, 24th and 25th 2021
Parallel ComputingQuantum Devices
As the demand for more powerful computing resource increase, new computing approaches are actively developed.
The FET-Open European project COPAC, Coherent Optical Parallel Computing, Pr Françoise Remacle coordinator, is one of such endeavors : COPAC aims at implementing massively parallel quantum logics on solid state quantum dot devices operating at room temperature using sequences of fs laser pulses.
COPAC organizes an online symposium on March 23rd, 24th and 25th 2021, that covers the different facets non linear optics, materiel science, quantum devices and quantum computing of the project.
