SUMMARY:7th Waseda Brussels Conference – Next-Generation Quantum Technology through the Fusion of Nanophotonics and Atomic Physics
DESCRIPTION:The Brussels Institute for Advanced Studies and the Waseda University Brussels Office organize the 7th Waseda Brussels Conference on Next-Generation Quantum Technology through the Fusion of Nanophotonics and Atomic Physics. \nWith the support of The Mission of Japan to the European Union. \n\nRegister here\n\nAbout the Conference\nQuantum Sciences and Technologies — new technologies and systems using the properties of quantum mechanics — are among the most dynamic areas of fundamental research and innovation today. They underpin breakthroughs in advanced computing\, artificial intelligence\, sensing and metrology\, biomedical research\, weather and climate modelling\, cybersecurity\, and sustainable energy. \nGiven the major scientific and technological challenges\, the European Union and Japan are intensifying collaboration in quantum research through increased investment\, public-private partnerships\, and coordinated strategies such as the Quantum Europe Strategy\, Japan’s National Quantum Strategy\, and the EU-Japan Letter of Intent on Strengthening Cooperation in Quantum Sciences & Technologies. \nThis conference explores how recent advances in quantum technology — particularly in nanophotonics and atomic physics — are driving the development of large-scale distributed quantum computing and global quantum networks. It also aims to strengthen EU–Japan collaboration through dialogue\, project development\, and funding synergies. \n\n25/11/2025 – Conference Schedule\nAgenda\n\n\n08:30 – 09:00 Registration & Welcome Coffee\n\nWelcome Words & Policy Session\nChair: Jean-Louis Moortgat (Waseda University Brussels Office) \n\nMasahiko Gemma – Vice-President for International Affairs & International Fundraising\, Waseda University\nAnne Weyembergh – Vice-Rector for External Relations & Cooperation\, Université libre de Bruxelles\nFranz Deconinck – Co-Director\, Brussels Institute for Advanced Studies\nH.E.
