DESCRIPTION:[b]Quantum Advantage to AI Supremacy by Volodymir Zenin\, Shai
 lesh Kumar and Torgom Yezekyan[/b]\n\n[b]About the event:[/b]\nIn the ser
 ies of three presentations by young scientists\, Volodymir Zenin\, Shaile
 sh Kumar and Torgom Yezekyan from SDU Nano Optics\, we intend to illustra
 te the basic underlying concepts involved in quantum optics\, especially 
 quantum computing and communications\, by using a simple (pedestrian leve
 l) language and conducting real and gedanken experiments. We’ll endeavor 
 to answer\, or at least start answering\, questions like:What is quantum 
 about light? Can one see/feel any signs of quantum light in real life? Wh
 at is so special about quantum computing/communications? Do we really nee
 d quantum computing/communications? How does AI come into all this?The id
 ea is to make the realities of quantum revolution we are witnessing nowad
 ays just a bit more understandable and tangible\, i.e.\, more real.  \n\n
 [b]About the speakers[/b]\n[b]Shailesh Kumar[/b] is an Associate Professo
 r at SDU Nano Optics\, University of Southern Denmark. His research focus
 es on quantum nanophotonics\, particularly solid-state single-photon emit
 ters\, metasurfaces\, nanoantennas and integrated photonic structures. He
  develops ways to control the emission rate\, directionality\, polarizati
 on and spatial modes of quantum light\, with the aim of creating compact 
 sources of structured and entangled photons for quantum technologies. \n\
 n[b]Dr. Vladimir Zenin[/b] received his Ph.D. in Energy and Environmental
  Technologies from the University of Southern Denmark in 2014. Since join
 ing the Nano Optics group\, his research has focused on scanning near-fie
 ld optical microscopy (SNOM)\, progressing from fiber-based collection-mo
 de SNOM with in-house fabricated probes to advanced scattering-type SNOM.
 His work applies SNOM to precise nanoscale characterization of optical pr
 operties in advanced materials\, including gold monocrystals and van der 
 Waals materials. Dr. Zenin has published extensively in high-impact journ
 als and regularly presents his research at international workshops and co
 nferences. \n\n[b]Dr Torgom Yezekyan[/b] is an Assistant Professor at the
  Centre for Nano Optics\, University of Southern Denmark (SDU). He receiv
 ed his PhD in Physics in 2019 from Yerevan State University where his wor
 k focused on the theoretical investigation of interactions between quantu
 m emitters and plasmonic structures. His current research centers on expe
 rimental studies of nanoscale light–matter interactions\, with an emphasi
 s on passive and active plasmonic and photonic systems.\n\nThe event is o
