Quantum Correlated Light and Matter II

Conferences

The conference brings together leading experimental and theoretical research groups studying light-induced quantum states, non-classical light generation, and correlated light-matter phases across solid-state and molecular platforms.

The Quantum Correlated Light and Matter conference takes place over four full days at Aalto University's iconic Dipoli building located on the Otaniemi campus in Espoo, Finland.

QCLM 2 is supported by the Photonics Research and Innovation Flagship (PREIN), the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST), and the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation. This support allows us to keep the registration fee at a modest €90. (Undergraduates free of charge)

The number of participants is limited, and priority will be given to those presenting a poster. Registration is subject to confirmation by the organizers; payment instructions will be provided upon acceptance.

Application form

The conference will span 4 days, featuring a mix of invited talks and discussion sessions to foster deep scientific exchange and identify mutual interests for collaborations.

Topics include:

Microscopic and macroscopic quantum states of light and matter
Quantum Optics in solid state and 2D materials
Exciton-, phonon- and magnon-polaritons
Quantum coherence and correlations
