Schedule

PCSI-48 and AVS Quantum Science Workshop Technical Program

The 48th Conference on the Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces (PCSI-48) will be held at Sonesta Redondo Beach & Marina in Redondo Beach, California, USA, from Sunday afternoon, January 15, through Thursday noon, January 19, 2023.

The annual PCSI conference is devoted to achieving a fundamental understanding of the physical, chemical, biological, structural, optical, magnetic, and electrical properties of surfaces and interfaces. These studies include novel growth processes and interfacial phenomena, new characterization tools, transport, and functionality of the structures for future devices. Generous amounts of discussion time will be included in the program in order to emphasize the workshop character and to stimulate the exchange of new ideas.

An AVS Quantum Science Workshop will be held immediately following PCSI-48. View invited speakers below.

With the emergence of a range of innovative technologies, we can now create quantum objects that are extremely well defined, well characterized and well controlled. This AVS Quantum Science Workshop will cover topics which interface micro-fabrication, materials science with quantum science. It will have three sessions that cover Quantum Computing, Quantum Information, Quantum Sensing. Topics will cover superconducting qubits, color centers, ion traps, quantum metrology as well as advances in the technologies that enable quantum information processing. These include but are not limited to single photon amplifiers, multiplexers and advances in cryogenic systems, vacuum technology, microwave to optical conversion schemes, etc. Challenges in achieving high performance entangled devices and making precision measurements using quantum systems will be addressed. Apart from the oral sessions, we will have a discussion panel, which will provide an opportunity for researchers to interact with their peers in the field.
