The advancement of optical science and quantum technologies represents a key area of modern physics with applications in quantum communication, computation, and sensing. International collaboration in these fields is essential for fostering knowledge exchange, innovation, and interdisciplinary research. Given the strong expertise in optics and quantum physics in Germany and Armenia, this binational WE-Heraeus seminar presents a unique opportunity to build synergies between researchers in both countries.

Armenia has a rich tradition in optical and quantum research, with strong contributions in theoretical physics, laser technologies, and photonics. With this seminar, we aim to promote scientific cooperation, strengthen academic ties, and create a platform for discussing recent developments in fundamental and applied optics with a special focus on quantum technologies.

In the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology this binational WE-Heraeus seminar is a timely event which will foster contacts between groups working in these modern fields in Germany and in Armenia.
