MASTEAM talks - Building Quantum Technologies - Carlos Abellán

Wednesday 9 November, 17:30h, C4-001 (Sala de Actos / Main Hall), Campus Castelldefels UPC.

The Master's degree in Applied Telecommunications and Engineering Management (MASTEAM) organizes a weekly series of activities (talks, technical visits, discussion pannels) that complement the academic activities with real-world experiences from companies, research centres and institutions in the main topics of the master: Internet of Things. Smart Cities, 5G mobile communications, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Radio (SDR), cloud computing, among others.

This week's activity will be a talk from Mr Carlos Abellán (ICFO, Institute of Photonic Sciences).

Title: Building Quantum Technologies

Abstract: In this talk we will review the state of quantum technologies at the industry level as well as current challenges and efforts towards creating scalable products. Following a pragmatic and intuitive approach, we will also discuss about those quantum effects that motivates the development of technologies. Finally, I will present a new worldwide scientific collaboration that will perform, on November 30th, several fundamental quantum physics experiments using the contribution of thousands of people like us.

Bio: BSc in Telecom engineering and MSc in Photonics Science. Experienced on bringing state-of-the-art technology from concept to customer validation. PhD student at ICFO, the Institute of Photonic Sciences, and trained at the Haas School of Business (UC Berkeley).
