SIPQNP 2022

Dates: January 13-14, 2022
Location: Snowbird, UT (hosted with PQE Conference)
Sponsored by: NSF Center for Quantum Networks

Overview: This SIPQNP was embedded within the Physics of Quantum Electronics (PQE) conference, and featured talks by the Center Directors of the newly-minted NQI centers funded by the NSF and the DoE. In addition, it had focused sessions on the need to scale photonic quantum technologies, perspectives from large foundries, and a session where industry leaders of quantum groups shared their perspectives.

Participants [in addition to the PQE-registered participants who joined SIPQNP]: Andrew Childs, William Clark, Ryan Camacho, Domenico Di Mola, Zachary Dutton, Matt Eichenfield, Stephen Fleming, Anna Grasselino, Saikat Guha, David Harame, Andrew Houck, Travis Humble, Ania Jayich, Ted Letavic, Peter Maurer, Inder Monga, Rick Muller, Will Oxford, Alireza Shabani, Dan Stamper-Kurn, Luqi Yuan
