Jointly Presents


Physical Sciences Symposia-2015-Boston

Two Theme Meetings at One Location
Crystal & Graphene Science Symposium-2015
On
'Crystal Engineering to Graphenes, Fullerenes, Carbon Nanotubes & Semiconductors'

&
Quantum Science Symposium-2015
On
'Quantum Information to Communications & Quantum Systems to Qubits & Optics'
Date: September 21 – 22, 2015

Venue: In Between Massachusetts Institute of Technology & Harvard University Campuses
on  777 Memorial Drive at Courtyard Marriott, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 USA



SCOPE OF THE MEETING:
 
The purpose and scope of this Physical Sciences Symposia-2015 is to provide a forum for the discussion of the current state of the art of rapidly evolving Crystal & Graphene Science, and Quantum Science highly interdisciplinary fields. This will consists of two parallel theme meetings:

Crystal & Graphene Science Symposium (CGSS)-2015: This is our Third  international theme conference, the first and second were held in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA on September 5-6, 2012 and September 4-5, 2013 respectivel. The first one which was inaugurated by Paul   Steinhardt of Princeton, Antonio Castro Neto of National University of Singapore and Charles Lieber of Harvard University. The second one was inaugurated by Nobel laureate Jerome Friedman, Mildred Dresselhaus of MIT and late Gerald Guralnik of Brown University. Study of design/synthesis of functional solid-state structures including organic molecular crystals and metallo-organic-polymers described as ‘crystal engineering’. Quasicrystals are unique form of solid; they exist universally in many metallic alloys and some polymers. Both Crystal Science and Graphene science (Graphite, Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes in general nanotechnology) has attracted a much attention these last years from both academic and industry laboratories, so we combined and grouped in to ‘Crystal & Graphene Science.’

Quantum Science Symposium (QSS) USA-2015: This is our Fourth international symposium in the physical sciences series. The first was held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA on September 26-27, 2011, which was inaugurated by MIT Physics Nobel Laureate Professor Frank Wilczek. The second meeting was held at the prestigious Peterhouse (college) of the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom on November 1-2, 2012, which was presided by Professors David Ritchie and Stephen Blundell of the University of Cambridge and Oxford respectively. The third one was held in Waltham, Massachusetts on September 4-5, 2013. The first QSS-Asia was held at the University of Tokyo, Japan on November 22-23, 2013. The purpose and scope of this symposium is to provide a forum for the discussion of the current state of the art of rapidly evolving Quantum Science field. The branch of quantum spintronics and quantum computing has attracted a much attention in recent years from both academic and industry laboratories, so we combined and grouped into ‘Quantum Science.’

In this international meeting, prominent researchers (theoretical and experimental physicists, organic, inorganic and physical chemists, materials scientists, biologists, mathematicians, electrical, electronic and computer engineers) from both academia and industry will gather and discuss the applications in form of keynote lectures, invited talks, short oral, and poster presentations.

Venue: Courtyard MARRIOTT is a star hotel located on the banks of Charles River in between the MIT and Harvard campuses, just next to Microcenter. This is also in the close vicinity of several Information/Quantum Technology companies. This is very well connected and located on Memorial Drive.  

Note:
 All the members (except keynote speakers and who prearranged with organizer) who participate in this symposium have to register for the meeting by paying the appropriate registration fee
