22nd Central European Workshop on Quantum Optics
6-10 July 2015, Warsaw, Poland

About

The conference series started in early 1990s in Central Europe and transformed during more than 20 years into one of most popular annual meetings of European scientists interested in quantum optics and quantum information. Organized every year in another location, the conference has travelled across the continent.

Main topics:

  • Fundamental aspects of quantum optics including the Casimir effect
  • Quantum correlations - entanglement, non-locality and causality
  • Non-classical states, quantum tomography
  • Open quantum systems
  • Optical angular momentum and quantum polarization
  • Quantum information processing
  • Quantum communications
  • Cavity and circuit QED
  • Quantum optics with neutrons, atoms, molecules
  • Quantum optics in condensed matter systems

Important dates:

  • Submission deadline: 20 March 2015 until 23:59 GMT
  • Acceptance notification: 20 April 2015

Contact: cewqo2015-at-fuw-dot-edu-dot-pl

The workshop will be preceded by 14th International Conference on Squeezed States and Uncertainty Relations taking place in Gdansk on 29 June - 3 July 2015.
