Such interconversion is a prerequisite for the construction of quantum memories and more generally for the construction of quantum repeaters and networks, but could also prove central to the development of “hybrid” quantum information technologies. In addition to memories and repeaters, these techniques promise improved sources of single photons, new schemes for quantum logic gates, and other exciting applications. In parallel, there has been rapid progress in the development of solid-state qubits, and new techniques will have to be developed to interface these qubits with other systems (e.g., optical, atomic). This symposium will address new advances and new challenges in this area, bringing together leading researchers from various fields to talk with each other about the latest ideas for making different qubits talk with each other as well. SPEAKErS: Quantum Light-Matter Interface: Novel Approaches and Applications; Mikhail Lukin; Harvard Univ., USA Trapped Ion Photonic Networks; Christopher Monroe; Univ. of Michigan, USA Cavity QED with Single Atomic and Photonic Qubits; Gerhard Rempe; Max Planck Inst., Germany CLEO Symposium on Light Filaments and Light Propagation in Atmosphere OrgANIzErS: Ludger Wöste, Freie Univ., Germany Patrick rambo, Sandia Natl. Labs, USA Topics include fundamental mechanisms of light filamentation, such as optical self-trapping, selffocusing, multiphoton ionization, and additional wavelength generation mechanisms (Raman, continuum, four wave mixing, etc.); parametric dependencies of filamentation, such as wavelength, pulsewidth, atmospheric constituency and pressure; and applications, such as LIDAR, remote LIBS, remote THz generation, laser-triggered discharges and directed energy transfer.
