Towards an excellence centre on quantum photonics in Latvia

Objective

The field of quantum technology is experiencing rapid development, with groundbreaking advancements. By establishing the Quantum Flagship initiative, the European Union has taken a proactive approach to quantum technologies. This initiative aims to explore and expand the frontiers of quantum technology. Quantum photonics plays a critical role within this framework. In light of this, our project seeks to chart a roadmap for the establishment of a Centre of Excellence of Quantum Photonics in Latvia. This endeavor holds significant importance as quantum photonics research remains underrepresented in Latvia and the other Baltic states, despite their untapped potential in materials synthesis and research. Notably, the Institute of Solid State Physics at the University of Latvia (ISSP UL) stands as one of the most esteemed institutes in the Baltic states, renowned for its expertise in studying optical properties of materials and conducting research on photonic elements. By leveraging the expertise of ISSP UL and fostering collaborations with scientific partners from Latvia and the Baltic states, we envision the creation of a European-level competitive quantum photonics centre centered around ISSP UL. Recognizing Latvia's latent potential in this field, it becomes imperative to develop a comprehensive roadmap for establishing such a centre of excellence. To achieve this ambitious goal and facilitate the transfer of knowledge about quantum photonics technologies, we have strategically chosen two esteemed Western Europe universities as our partners: the University of Trento and the University of Technology of Troyes. Both institutions boast a rich history of involvement in quantum photonics research and possess the necessary expertise to bridge the knowledge gaps at ISSP UL. Through the organization of conferences, schools, and workshops, our partners will lay the foundations for further research and inovation development at the institute.
