About CCQS

The Center for Coherence and Quantum Science (CCQS) is a collaboration of researchers from a range of disciplines across the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳. By pooling our skills and resources, we push the frontiers of the field of quantum and classical coherence to new areas. We also enable practical applications within the areas of optical science and optical engineering.

91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Conference on Coherence and Quantum Science

The 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Conference on Coherence and Quantum Science (CQS) (Formerly 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics (CQO)) has been held every six years since the 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.
