Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics
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.

A quantum leap in cooling atoms for better computers
“We still do not fully understand all of the ways that heat and energy flow in quantum devices,” says physicist John Nichol. A new grant will allow him and his team to study thermoelectricity to help develop more efficient quantum computers.

AIM Photonics members celebrate 5 years of success
In celebration of their five year anniversary and technical achievements, AIM Photonics presents a look into the institute and integrated photonics. Members detail the benefits of this technology through footage from the AIM Photonics Test, Assembly, and Packaging (TAP) Facility in Rochester, NY—the world’s first-ever open-access 300mm Photonic Packaging Research Center.
