Fill out this form to register virtually for Charting Quantum Horizons: Establishing a Roadmap for Microarcsecond Astronomy, a 1-day workshop hosted by NOIRLab, in collaboration with the Arizona Quantum Initiative (AQuI) and the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA).
Workshop date: March 11, 2024
Address: Tucson, AZ
Format: In person and Remote
Workshop Goals:
The goal of this 1-day workshop is to establish astronomy-quantum collaborations and to explore the roadmaps to a new era of high-resolution astronomy. We aim to achieve this by accomplishing the following in the workshop:
- Review the current state of capabilities and techniques in optical/IR interferometry
- Highlight science cases enabled by microarcsecond resolution at optical/IR wavelengths (e.g. Exoplanets, Stellar physics, Young stars / Disks, AGN and SMBHs)
- Discuss quantum-enhanced methods for pushing current limitations on spatial resolution
- Establish collaborations between the astronomy and quantum communities to address science requirements and technical challenges
Another important goal following the workshop is to write a joint white paper and/or publication in a collaboration with astronomers and quantum information scientists that describes the concept for an on-sky demonstration of a quantum-enhanced telescope/interferometer.
**Registration for the workshop is free**
