What is nonclassical about quantum interference?


on 23-05-2024

... On Quantum Tech Day, Instituto de Telecomunicações, Aveiro, hosts the talk "What is nonclassical about quantum interference?”, with Lorenzo Catani, a researcher at International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL), on 23rd May 2024, 02:30 p.m.

This event occurs in the scope of the Portuguese Quantum Communications Infrastructure - PTQCI project.

Lorenzo Catani's research mostly focuses on the intersection between quantum foundations and quantum computation. In particular, he aims to identify the features of quantum theory that constitute a departure from the classical worldview and to show how these can be resources for quantum computational advantage in information processing tasks. He also is conducting a new mathematical framework that provides a realistic and interpretationally unproblematic account of quantum theory.

Bio:
He holds a BSc in Physics (2012) and an MSc in Theoretical Physics (2014) from the University of Bologna, where he was also a student of the Collegio Superiore, one of the Superior Graduate Schools in Italy. He also holds an MRes (2015) and a PhD (2018) from University College London, obtained as part of the doctoral training program in delivering quantum technologies. His doctoral thesis was titled Nonclassicality as a computational resource. Before moving to INL, he held postdoctoral positions at Chapman University in California (2018–2021) and Technische Universität Berlin (2021–2023).

Cloud-Network Slicing: Concepts, Benefits and Enablers


on 17-05-2024

... Join us for the IEEE Distinguished Lecture by Augusto Jose-Venancio Neto.

The lecture will occur in-person and online on May 17th, 02:30 – 04:00 p.m. at Instituto de Telecomunicações (Building 19 - amphitheater IT1), in Universidade de Aveiro campus.

Abstract:
Cloud-network slicing has emerged as a transformative paradigm in the realm of 5G, promising to revolutionize the way virtual and communication resources are allocated and managed. This talk delves into the fundamental concepts of cloud-network slicing, exploring our architecture, principles, and key technology enablers to set instances across core and RAN domains.

We will delve into the various benefits that cloud-network slicing brings to the table, including improved multi-tenancy, enhanced network flexibility, and customized service delivery. Additionally, we will discuss the enabling technologies and methodologies that facilitate the implementation of cloud-network slicing, such as network function virtualization (NFV), software-defined networking (SDN), cloud computing, and predictive networking elasticity.

Overall, this talk aims to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of cloud-network slicing, its benefits, and the key enablers driving its adoption in modern network architectures. Attendees will gain insights into how cloud-network slicing can unlock new opportunities for innovation and efficiency in cloud computing and networking domains.
