Existing Collaborative Activities

Close research collaborations exist among Indian, American and Canadian researchers at the partner institutes and industries who have jointly organized workshops, winter schools, conclaves and video-conferenced lectures on these frontier research areas and visits or sabbaticals by researchers and students alike. The Joint Centre provides them a formal platform to jointly present the exciting opportunities in these fields to budding young quantum and nano scientists. Among the notable outcomes of the Joint Centre will be a fillip to quantum and nano computing awareness, education and research among young research groups.

SQUAN 2007

Indo-US Shared Vision Workshop on Soft, Quantum and Nano Computing (SQUAN 2007): February 22-25, 2007

DEI hosted the Indo-US Shared Vision Workshop on Soft, Quantum and Nano Computing (SQUAN-2007) [1] in February 2007 under the auspices of the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum in collaboration with IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi, University of Louisville, Bell Labs and several other Indian and American universities and industries. It witnessed four days of buzzing activity in Soft, Quantum and Nano Computing with a wide spectrum of topics being discussed including photonic and NMR based quantum computing, nano computing, fuzzy rule based systems, genetic languages, systems analysis and design, parallel soft computing and unifying paradigms. It witnessed leading researchers from across the globe in the field of computing cutting across departments of Computer Science, Information Technology, Physics and Chemistry present their latest cutting-edge research work indicating the current impact of Computing on Science and Technology.
