BiQuTe: Inaugural Event for the 25th anniversary of the University of Milano-Bicocca

The University of Milano-Bicocca is pleased to announce the inaugural event of the Bicocca Quantum Technologies Centre - BiQuTe 

Quantum Science and Technology: State-of-the-art and Perspectives 

4 December 2023 - 9:00-18:00 Aula Sironi, U4 Tellus Building Piazza della Scienza 4 Milano 

The meeting, included in the calendar of events for the twenty-fifth anniversary of the University of Milan - Bicocca, is organised by the Interdepartmental Bicocca Quantum Technologies Centre established in 2021. The day is intended as an opportunity for an overview of the state of research in the field of Quantum Sciences and Technologies and its prospects, with a particular reference to our country in the European scenario. 

The programme includes talks by

MIRAQLS: mid-infrared quantum technology for sensing

MIRAQLS - mid-infrared quantum technology for sensing - is one of the three projects in quantum research and innovation jointly funded by the European Union and Canada. The goal of the project is to increase the accuracy of measurements in imaging sensors, which could be used in fields as diverse as better precision medicine, to more comprehensive detection of pollutants in the atmosphere, to precisely monitor traffic flows and congestion. The team of the University of Milano-Bicocca will be lead by Prof. Pezzoli, who will work with non-classical light sources together with Prof. Sanguinetti who will be involved in the epitaxial growth of quantum emitters.

Canada-Italy Innovation Award 2022

The Canadian Embassy will support through the 'Canada-Italy Innovation Award 2022' the scientific collaboration between the Polytechnique Montréal and the group of optical spectroscopy of Prof. Pezzoli, thus bringing together complementary expertise ranging from nanofabrication and epitaxial growth to the study of light-matter interaction. The goal is to address the challenges and future opportunities of integrated quantum technologies, more specifically spin qubits and quantum light sources based on group IV materials.
