The 18th Symposium
“Photonic quantum computing with programmability and fault-tolerance”

August 23~26, 2023

We are pleased to invite you to the 2023 KIST Aslla Symposium. The Symposium, now in its 7th year, has been serving as a platform for participants to share their research accomplishments and perspectives related to globally challenging issues in the field of science and technology, and seeks to promote convergence research and the development of global networks between Korean researchers and their international colleagues.  

This year's event will be held at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology(KIST) S&T Convention Center from August 23rd to 26th, and will feature presentations and discussions on the theme, "Photonic quantum computing with programmability and fault-tolerance" Prof. Seung-Woo Lee from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology(KIST) and Hoon Ryu from Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information(KISTI), who organized this event, will serve as organizers for the symposium.   

As your in-depth knowledge of matters relating to this year's theme would certainly be of interest to the attendees, we would like to invite you to be a main speaker for this event. This role would entail sharing your insights regarding Photonic Quantum computing.
Thank you for your consideration and we are looking forward to seeing you at the symposium.
