Workshop on Quantum Telecommunications
The Workshop on Quantum Telecommunications will be held on 15-17 May 2013, in Lisbon, and aims at disseminating the latest theoretical and experimental results in quantum telecommunications, quantum information and quantum cryptography, in an informal setting, with plenty of time for discussions. The number of participants is limited.
The workshop will take place at Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT), a national research lab in Lisbon, Portugal, rated Excellent in its last international assessment.
IT-Lisbon is located in the campus of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST, the School of Science and Engineering of the Technical University of Lisbon), in Lisbon, Portugal (see Contact to find out how to reach us).
