This school aims at introducing students and post-docs with an optics background to the concepts of integrated quantum photonics. We will start from the general concepts of quantum optics, quantum information, quantum simulation and computing and we will move to the main building blocks of an integrated photonic quantum circuits (single photon sources, entangled photon sources, single photon detectors,  linear optical devices, quantum interference devices, and materials and processing to manufacture integrated quantum devices). Then we will discuss integrated quantum circuits and their applications in security, communication, computing, sensing-measurements and quantum key distribution. The lectures will be presented by the main scientists who have pioneered this photonic technology.

In addition to standard classes, laboratory sessions will be organized to facilitate the development of a proper design of integrated circuits on the student request. Rump evening sessions on hot topics in the field will be organized to facilitate discussions among students and lecturers. Since this is a residential school, both the students and the lecturers will reside in the same place which will make easy discussions in an informal venue or on the ski fields.

Where

Venue

Folgaria, Trento – Italy at  Alpen Hotel Eghel

The soul of Alpen Hotel Eghel is deeply mountain like, and dressed of elegance and sophistication: a perfect synergy of tradition and modernity.
Located on the gentle Trention’s mountains, in Costa a little fraction of Folgaria, a wide open green upland, relaxing and only 1km away from the town center.
It’s position is ideal: in winter you will be close to the slopes (only 500 mt away) and it is a perfect starting point for a regenerating walk in the woods and fields…  SPA will do the rest.
 

How to reach the Hotel

BY CAR
You can reach Folgaria by car from A22 - Brennero HIGHWAY (Exit: Rovereto Nord) take SS12 to Calliano and then follow direction to Folgaria
Look at the map 

BY TRAIN
Trenitalia (Brennero-Verona line) exit station: Rovereto.  20 mt walk from the railway station there is a bus service to Folgaria, exit "Costa stop"  see time table

BY AIR
The nearest airport is Verona Villafranca, 90Km away. Motorway bus services connect the airport with the near Verona railway station (10 minutes), so that you can get direct trains to Rovereto. The other airport is Marco Polo at Venice, 115 km away.
