Introduction
While the microelectronic technology is approaching the fundamental limits set by the transistor size, heating, and quantum fluctuations, utilization of the quantum effects in nanostructures will revolutionize the information technology. Nanometrology and quantum computing are two paradigmatic subfields of the new quantum information technologies. Dynamical control of quantum coherence, being the key for realistic implementation of quantum computing, has been rapidly advanced in recent years. Thanks to these advances, initialization, control, and detection of quantum coherence of single objects (spins in solids, superconducting circuits, mechanical resonators, etc.) have become feasible. At the dawn of revolution in both nanometrology and quantum computing, the proposed ASI aims to provide a platform to expose the scientists in Hong Kong and the region to the exciting developments of dynamical quantum control. The new information technologies based on quantum coherence control involve advanced methods in materials sciences, nanotechnologies, computational physics, and quantum sciences. The proposed ASI will provide a gold opportunity to consolidate the local research excellence in these fields to play a world-leading role in fostering the new information technologies.
The ASI will feature six distinguished Lecturers, who will give in-depth discussions of the frontiers of their respective fields. A few invited speakers will talk on their edge-cutting research relevant to the topic of the ASI. Some participants will be invited to showcase their research in the form of posters. Sufficient discussion and interaction will be arranged during the poster session, the oral presentation, and the social time.
Registration is free and open for all interested, but to guarantee the best effect of interaction, the total number of registered participants will be limited and the participation is by invitation only. Selection of participants will be implemented after receiving the registration.
