PhD school SQCN [QCALL]

[Giuseppe Vallone (DEI)]

Dear colleague,


We are pleased to announce the first focused School on Quantum
Communications Networks (SQCN) <http://www.qcall-itn.eu/sqcn/> to be held
in the beautiful city of Padova, Italy, from 19 to 22 Sept 2018. SQCN is
funded and organized by the European Innovative Training Network QCALL
(Quantum Communications for All) <http://www.qcall-itn.eu/>, funded by the
H2020 Marie Sklodowska Curie Programme (project 675662). The school will
feature talks  <http://www.qcall-itn.eu/sqcn-programme>by leading scientists
<http://www.qcall-itn.eu/sqcn-speakers/> and representatives from industry
in the field. It also provides a unique opportunity for discussion and to
share ideas.



The school’s programme <http://www.qcall-itn.eu/sqcn-programme/> is aimed
primarily at PhD students with some knowledge of quantum information
science, and its basic applications, e.g. QKD and quantum teleportation,
who want to deepen their understanding in related fields to quantum
communications networks. The school covers challenges of implementing
trusted-node quantum networks, all the way through to satellite-based
quantum communications and quantum repeater technologies. There will also
be lectures on relevant enabling devices such as quantum memories and
quantum random number generators. The school will conclude with sessions
with industrial focus and an excursion.



A number of positions are available for external participants. Interested
parties are invited to apply via the following web page
<https://goo.gl/forms/5lnddQ6PWEz7Yru82>. The application deadline is
Sunday, 1 July 2018. Successful candidates will be informed shortly
afterward and will be instructed to register and pay for the fees.



Please feel free to distribute this information to any colleague who
might be interested. For enquiries, please contact sqcn at qcall-itn.eu.



Best regards,



Paolo Villoresi,
