SIPQNP 2019
Dates: March 26-27, 2019
Location: Biosphere 2, Tucson, AZ
Sponsored by: NSF Center for Quantum Networks
Overview: The 2019 edition of SIPQNP featured sessions on the three pillars of quantum information processing: communications, sensing and computing, but focused on the role of scalable quantum-photonics technologies in harnessing the utility in various use cases. One additional session focused solely on integrated photonic devices.
