SUMMARY:Inside Quantum Technology Europe: An Online Conference
DESCRIPTION:This is Inside Quantum Technology’s fourth conference on the commercialization of quantum technology. Quantum technology has come a long way since we held the first ever quantum technology conference almost two years ago in Boston and our first European quantum technology conference in The Hague: \n\nThis conference is a continuation of our European shows and\, as always\, we are running it in conjunction with our partner\, QuTech (founded by the Technical University Delft and the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research). The European orientation of this conference is reflected in many of our speakers who will come from both the leading European multinationals as well as European based quantum startups. There will also be speakers from both the EU and individual European governments.\nInside Quantum Technology Europe will be focused on the practicalities of implementing quantum technology in the real world. We will hear from end-user firms\, technology firms and policy makers on making quantum technology a reality.\n\nQuantum technology now embraces quantum computing\, QKD\, post-quantum cryptography (PQC)\, quantum networking (moving towards the quantum) and quantum sensors; and of course\, all the associated software. And Europe has emerged as a key geography in all of these areas. \n\n\n6 Reasons for Attending Inside Quantum Technology Europe\n\n\n\nEnhance your knowledge of quantum technology commercialization in Europe.Inside Quantum Technology Europe will offer attendees 60+ expert speakers  There will also be a state-of-the-art online Exhibit Hall in which leading hardware and software firms\, along with service providers\, will display and demonstrate their latest products and strategies.\nLearn from the best. At Inside Quantum Technology you will learn from thought-leaders in the quantum technology field as well as meet the newest entrants into the field. You will also be able to ask presenters questions about their work and the rationale behind it.\nNetwork with your peers. At Inside Quantum Technology there will be plenty of time to network\, do deals\, meet new customers and see new products.  Inside Quantum Technology Europe will help attendees meet new colleagues and discuss the latest opportunities in the quantum technology space.\nMake long-term relationships. At Inside Quantum Technology Europe You can expect to make new contacts that may be your collaborators and colleagues in the future. You may make a connection with someone that will dramatically impact your professional career or just further establish yourself in your field — find a new job\, recruit skilled people for a position at your organization or company.\nPresent your ideas\, skills and new products. Inside Quantum Technology will provide attendees the opportunity to talk about their own research and development work and gain novel perspectives and feedback from others at the conference.\nLatest conferencing platform. Our state-of-the art conferencing platform will also enable attendees to network online with speakers\, exhibitors\, and other attendees to exchange experiences and conduct business. Inside Quantum Technology will be a great way to meet new people in the world of European quantum technology.\n\n\nVertical FOCUS DAY Schedule\nOctober 27 — Quantum Computing \nOctober 28 — Quantum Computing Software and Applications \nOctober 29 — Quantum Communications \nOctober 30 — Quantum Sensors\, Quantum Policy and Quantum Investments

SUMMARY:CLEO PR 2020 Conference
DESCRIPTION:The CLEO PR Committee is pleased to confirm that the 14th Pacific Rim Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO PR 2020) will be held as a virtual conference from Monday 3 – Wednesday 5 August 2020. Attendees can watch presentations in real-time and ask questions as well as have the entire program available on demand for a designated time period. \nThis format will provide a valuable opportunity for authors to present their work and share their knowledge more widely than a face to face meeting\, whilst still providing many of the other benefits. \nRegistration is now open to attend the Virtual Conference. Click here to register now. \n(Online Event)

SUMMARY:Executing Deep Quantum Optimization Algorithms on Superconducting Quantum Processors
DESCRIPTION:Superconducting circuits are a prime contender both for realizing fault-tolerant quantum processors and for executing noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) algorithms. After a brief introduction to the quantum physics of superconducting circuits I will focus on the latter. The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is one of a whole class of variational methods\, which are believed to be promising to solve computationally hard problems on quantum computers. Also\, the performance of noisy intermediate-scale quantum information processing systems is commonly benchmarked using such algorithms. Gaining computational power from QAOA critically relies on the mitigation of errors during the execution of the algorithm\, which for coherence-limited operations is achievable by reducing the gate count. Here\, I present an improvement of up to a factor of three in algorithmic performance\, by implementing a continuous hardware-efficient gate set. This gate set allows us to perform the phase separation step in QAOA with a single operation for each pair of qubits instead of decomposing it into multiple gates. We experimentally investigate the circuit-depth-dependent performance of our QAOA implementations for finding solutions to exact cover problems mapped onto three or seven qubits using up to a total of 399 operations in up to 9 layers. Our results demonstrate that the use of continuous gate sets may be a key component in extending the impact of near-term quantum computers [1]. Using the same device architecture\, we have recently demonstrated repeated error detection [2]\, an important step toward quantum error correction and the execution of fault-tolerant quantum algorithms. \nReferences\n[1] N.

SUMMARY:A review of entangled photon pair sources based on three-wave mixing in bulk crystals
DESCRIPTION:Entangled photon-pairs are a vital resource in quantum information protocols ranging from quantum key distribution to teleportation. The commonly used technique for generating photon-pairs is by a three-wave mixing process called spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in bulk crystals. The increased demand of quality entangled photon-pair sources for various applications and the readily available technology to build the sources have led to a growing research interest in deployable high performance entangled photon-pair sources. In this talk\, I will give a review of the state-of-the-art for bulk optics based SPDC sources and discuss some of the main considerations when building a source. \n(Online Event)
