CoCoNUT: Coherent Control for Next generation qUantum Technologies 2021
Aug. 24th - 27th

Quantum technologies are on the horizon, yet realising the full potential of these devices is problematic due to a quantum system’s inherent fragility. Robust and precise control is an essential requirement for scalable, usable quantum devices. CoCoNUT2021 aimed to discuss the strengths and weakness of the current state-of-the-art techniques, aiming to layout  the roadmap to scalable quantum technologies with particular emphasis on Ireland's role in delivering them.

As part of the event we also hosted "Quantum Physics and Quantum Technologies with Prof. Klaus Mølmer" -- a public lecture on the coming quantum revolution.

CoCoNUT2021 was funded through the Early Career Award by the National University of Ireland with additional support from Science Foundation Ireland, the Irish Research Council, and University College Dublin.

Invited Plenary Speakers

Picture
There are a number of shorter contributed talks--primarily from Ireland based researchers--to demonstrate the growth exciting activities occurring on the island in recent years. See the program for more details.
​
Structured sessions are kept moderate so that there is ample opportunity each  day of the Workshop for participants who wish to interact  and exchange ideas via Gather.Town to do so.
