Forum aims to coordinate knowledge, opinion, legislation, funding and influence for government and industry
CST Global has launched the [email protected] forum for the successful commercialisation of new, photonics and III V compound semiconductor technologies. The initial forum, held at the House for an Art Lover, Glasgow (www.houseforanartlover.co.uk/) in November focused on Quantum technologies and atomic clocks.
The [email protected] forum (www.technologyatCST.org) aims to coordinate knowledge, opinion, legislation, funding and influence for government and industry. At this first forum, there was an illustrious list of keynote speakers.
Peter Knight, senior research Investigator in the Physics Department at Imperial College and Senior Fellow in Residence at the Kavli Royal Society International Centre at Chicheley Hall, covered the use of quantum technology in five, recognised application areas. Compact atomic clocks for timing and GPS resilience; metrology and sensors for accurate resolution and measurement; secure communications; simulation and modelling accuracy and speed; and finally computation and fast information processing.
Trevor Cross, CTO and head of quantum technologies at Teledyne e2v, gave an insightful keynote on successfully commercialising quantum technology. Teledyne e2v is amongst the first companies in the world already developing and selling products usng quantum technology.
Carol Monaghan, MP for Glasgow North West, Member of the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee and Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Photonics covered issues facing talent and recruitment in the sector.
Stephen Taylor, CEO of Technology Scotland, a membership body for companies operating in the Enabling Technology Sector, gave a market summary. He showed the exponential growth felt by many photonics companies in a world-market where quantum sensing is expected to exceed one billion dollars by 2030.
Finally, Thomas Slight, senior device development engineer at CST Global gave a summary of the five, government-funded, quantum technology research projects CST Global is currently working on.
The findings are published on the www.technologyatCST.org website.
CS International 26-27 March 2019, Sheraton Airport Hotel, Brussels
In its ninth year, CS International will continue to provide timely, comprehensive coverage of every important sector within the compound semiconductor industry. Presentations are split into 5 key themes and each industry key theme will be delivered by a keynote presentation from a leading industry figure as well as a market analyst presentation tailored to the theme. Together, the talks will detail breakthroughs in device technology; offer insights into the current status and the evolution of compound semiconductor devices; and provide details of advances in tools and processes that will help to drive up fab yields and throughputs. Attendees at the two-day conference will gain an up-to-date overview of the status of the CS industry, and have opportunities to meet many other key players within this community.
