11.1 Vive Le Colloque Quantique Français-Singapourien
The French-Singaporean Quantum Symposia (FSQS 2024) is designed to establish strategic partnerships in the field of quantum technology between Singapore and France. The inaugural event took place from November 5 to 7 at the Copthorne King’s Hotel in Singapore. This gathering aims to further strengthen the existing synergies among academics, representatives from the emerging quantum industry, and end-users of quantum technologies in both nations while building on the rich history of academic collaboration. FSQS 2024 aims to help identify the unique strengths and complementary aspects of the two ecosystems, optimizing opportunities for scientific cooperation and business development.
The event, FSQS 2024, spearheaded by Alexia Auffèves, is planned to be held for the next two years. In this meeting, the following topics were discussed: energy and resources for quantum technologies; neutral atoms—from many-body physics to quantum computing; computing and sensing with spins; photonic quantum computing—near term, fault-tolerant, unconventional, and neural networks; from algorithms to industrial use cases; continuous variables—bosonic computing and metrology; and quantum communications.
