The Third International Conference on Quantum Frontiers, hosted by the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and the Journal of Quantum Frontiers, convened over 180 scientists to discuss advances in quantum optics, atomic physics, and quantum metrology. Academician Qikun Xue delivered a keynote lecture on high-temperature superconductivity in nickelate films, detailing progress made by Chinese scientists in the field. The conference, modelled after the Gordon Research Conference format, featured eighteen invited talks and six poster presentations, alongside overviews of the Institute’s objectives and the journal’s scope presented by Academician Hong Ding and Academician Jinfeng Jia respectively.
Conference Overview
The Third International Conference on Quantum Frontiers was hosted in Shanghai through a collaboration between the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and the journal Quantum Frontiers. The conference focused on recent developments in quantum optics, atomic physics, and quantum metrology, with an emphasis on the manipulation of atoms and photons for fundamental research. Modelled after the Gordon Research Conference format, the event facilitated participation from over 180 scientists representing numerous countries, including the USA, Germany, and Australia.
The conference programme incorporated a keynote lecture, eighteen invited talks, and presentations selected from six outstanding poster submissions, providing a platform for the dissemination of current research. Academician Hong Ding, Deputy Director of TDLI, delivered welcoming remarks at the opening ceremony, detailing the Institute’s objectives, research focus, infrastructure, and collaborative initiatives. Simultaneously, Academician Jinfeng Jia, Executive Editor-in-Chief of Quantum Frontiers, presented an overview of the journal’s scope and achievements, demonstrating a commitment to fostering academic communication within the quantum research community.
Academician Qikun Xue, President of the Southern University of Science and Technology, delivered the keynote presentation as a special guest, commemorating the International Year of Quantum (IYQ). His presentation, titled ‘High Temperature Superconductivity in Nickelate Films’, highlighted advancements made by Chinese scientists in nickelate superconductors, a development considered a significant breakthrough in high-temperature superconducting materials. Quantum Frontiers focuses on the intersection of condensed matter physics and quantum information science, and since its establishment, has published research intended to promote interdisciplinary innovation and open new avenues for related fields, potentially attracting further quantum computing investment.
