   Keynote

   I will introduce two quantum algorithms to determine finite energy and temperature properties of many-body quantum systems [1]. The first one obtains the desired result in polynomial time in the number of qubits. The other one uses the quantum computer as a subroutine for a Monte Carlo method and avoids the so-called sign problem. Both of them can be used with NISQ and analog quantum simulators. [1] S.

   Presenter: Philippe Bouyer , Institut d'Optique - CNRS

    Presentation Details  Add to Schedule

   Invited

   The remarkable success of atom coherent manipulation techniques has motivated competitive research and development in precision metrology. Matter-wave inertial sensors – accelerometers, gyrometers, gravimeters – based on these techniques are all at the forefront of their respective measurement classes. Atom inertial sensors provide nowadays about the best accelerometers and gravimeters and allow, for instance, to make the most precise monitoring of gravity or to device precise tests of the weak equivalence principle (WEP). They also offer promising solutions for a new generation of navigations systems that will not rely solely on GPS accuracy. I present here some recent advances in these fields.Authors: Philippe Bouyer, Institut d'Optique - CNRS

   Super-resolution via plasmonic structured illumination and intensity correlations

   Presenter: Anton Classen , Texas A&M University

    Presentation Details   Paper  Add to Schedule

   Combining structured illumination with the evaluation of intensity auto-correlations enhances superresolution microscopy, both in widefield and confocal. We show how plasmonic illumination boosts the performance creating a huge, gapless OTF support.Authors: Anton Classen, Texas A&M University / Girish Agarwal, Texas A&M University
