Quantum Emitters: From Atoms to Solid-state emitters and their role in Quantum Optics

This symposium will explore the fascinating world of quantum emitters, tracing their evolution from atomic systems to modern solid-state devices. Participants will delve into the fundamental principles of quantum optics, learning how single quantum emitters, such as atoms, quantum dots, and defect centers in diamond or silicon, are revolutionizing this field. The workshop will cover key topics including the generation of single photons, entanglement, and coherent light-matter interactions. Attendees will gain insights into the practical applications of quantum emitters in quantum communication, computation, and sensing, highlighting their crucial role in advancing quantum technologies.
