CQO-11 The Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics
August 4-8, 2019
The Rochester Conferences on Coherence and Quantum Optics (CQO) have been held every six years since their inception in 1960, essentially coincident with the first observation of lasing. Topics of interest include all aspects of experimental and theoretical coherence, quantum optics, quantum information and quantum measurement.
Past CQO conferences have brought together leading researchers from around the world, including pioneers in the field such as R. Hanbury Brown, and S. Pancharatnam, Nobel laureates Willis Lamb, Arthur Schawlow, Nicholas Bloembergen, Roy Glauber, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, William Phillips, Wolfgang Ketterle and Serge Haroche.
Registration will open on Sunday, August 4 at 4 p.m. The opening session of the conference will be at 10 a.m. after breakfast on Monday, August 6 and the last session will end on Thursday August 8 at noon, to be followed by lunch and the closing of the conference.
