Entropy Quantum Optimization Machine for Non-convex Optimization Problems

30 Oct 2025, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Come join Platform Lead of Quantum Computing & Cybersecurity, Lac Nguyen, as we dive into Entropy Quantum Computing (EQC) and more. In this tutorial, we introduce Entropy Quantum Computing (EQC)—a novel optimization framework that stabilizes quantum reservoirs into ground states to efficiently solve complex problems. We showcase an experimental implementation using a hybrid photonic-electronic platform, where photon qudits are encoded in the time-frequency domain and coupled with electronic interconnects to realize arbitrary Hamiltonian.

Optica Nonlinear Optics

04 - 07 Aug 2025

Held every three years, Optica OIC — Optical Interference Coatings Conference, has served for the past four decades as the premier conference on the topic of optical interference coatings. Optica OIC — Optical Interference Coatings Conference spans fundamental research on coating design theory, materials, deposition methods, characterization technologies and applications ranging across electronic displays, optical communication, high-power and ultra-fast lasers, sensing, solar cells, low-emissivity coatings, optical instruments, space and more. The conference consists of five days of oral and poster presentations and an active exhibition that creates ongoing discussion and networking opportunities. None of the sessions are held in parallel, allowing attendees to listen to short presentations on each paper and then choose to visit the posters of greatest interest. Each session starts with invited talks by world-leading experts.

2025 Siegman International School on Lasers

28 Jul - 01 Aug 2025

The Siegman International School is a week-long program that exposes students to in-depth learning of lasers and their applications from internationally recognized academic and industry leaders in the field. The Siegman International School on Lasers covers all aspects of lasers and photonics. Each summer up to 100 graduate students are invited to participate in a week-long program to learn from pioneering laser researchers and experts from leading laser companies, highly-regarded professors and fellow students. Attendees are asked to present their own research, which provides valuable experience in building exposure for their work all while building lifelong colleagues and friends. Anthony Siegman, after whom the school is named, was a past Optica president and member for 50 years. He prioritized not only technological advancements but also creating opportunities for learning and growth among students and future generations. IPG Photonics partnered with the Optica Foundation and donors around the world to endow this program.
