Willem Boutu, CEA partner, has been invited to give a talk at the 53rd Winter Colloquium on the Physics of Quantum Electronics, which will be held from January 8-12, 2024, in Snowbird, Utah, United, States.
The Winter Colloquium on the Physics of Quantum Electronics, known as PQE is an annual physics conference that attracts the world’s experts in laser physics, quantum physics, and many other areas. January 2024 marks the 53rd winter meeting.
About PQE
The Winter Colloquium on the Physics of Quantum Electronics, known as “PQE,” is an annual physics conference that attracts the world’s experts in laser physics, quantum physics, and many other areas. Snowbird, UT hosts the annual meeting in early January, and it will celebrate its 53rd year in 2024.
History
The inventions of the maser and laser in the late 1950s and 1960s not only triggered a wave of new developments in the field later called Quantum Electronics, but also led to a growing need for formal education in the subject. However, by the late 1960s, very few courses existed, despite the vast amount of knowledge yet to uncover. Consequently, David Edwards of Colorado State University organized summer meetings in 1966 and 1967 under the name “Physics of Quantum Electronics.”
It was at these meetings that Steve Jacobs of the University of Arizona and Marlan Scully, then at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, met and subsequently developed the idea of continuing the PQE meetings. Furthermore, with Dave Edwards’ approval, they continued using the name Physics of Quantum Electronics. As a result, Marlan Scully and Steve Jacobs organized a series of 2-week summer schools, which eventually evolved into advanced workshops and technical progress reports. Steve Jacobs himself provided much of this historical account.
