The "International conference on quantum Metrology and Sensing" IQuMS 2019 will be held in Paris, France from the 09th to the 13th of december 2019. It will present an up to date perspective on this thriving field of quantum science and technology. The conference will be held at the Ecole Normale Supérieure.
The conference will notably cover the topics of atomic clocks and inertial sensors; sensors based on artificial atoms in solids, such as color centers; quantum opto-mechanical and nanomechanical devices; electromagnetic sensing with quantum circuits; measurement standards based on quantum phenomena for the revised SI. The conference aims to showcase recent progress and to review emerging perspectives. It will notably discuss the limits imposed to various sensors by the laws of quantum mechanics (standard quantum limit), and underline in particular the possibilities opened by the use of non-classical quantum states, such as squeezed states or entangled states, to overcome this quantum limit.
The scientific program will combine tutorials and invited talks by prominent specialists, contributed talks, poster presentations and a panel discussion.
The conference is organized by the French network SIRTEQ Science and Engineering in Ile de France for Quantum Technologies.
Open Evening Event
An open evening on Quantum Sensing will be organized during the conference, on the 10th of december 2019. The event will take place at the Sorbonne Université Auditorium, where a public lecture will be given by the Nobel prize laureate William D. Phillips, Professor of Physics, University of Maryland, National Institute of Standards and Technology. The lecture is entitled :De la révolution française à la révolution quantique :le nouveau système métrique. Registration is free yet mandatory : here

Venue and accomodation
The conference will take place in the Jean Jaurès amphitheater at Ecole Normale Supérieure.
ATTENTION ! : A National strike at the SNCF and RATP ( public transportation within the Paris Region and at the national level)is expected on December 5, 2019 and might be renewed. We advise you to avoid this day as your arrival day to Paris and will keep you informed through the website page by new information.
Lunch buffet will be organized in the lobby of the ENS Physics Department.
The conference will not take care of accommodation. We draw your attention that the organizing committee does not provide any travel agency or hotels with any contact information and recommend you to be careful if you are contacted by any of these agencies.
Afterwork
A gala dinner will be organized on the 11th of december at the Chapelle of the Museum of Arts and Crafts. A free visit will be organised followed by the dinner that will start at 7h30 pm. Due to limited places, the tickets will be distributed based on the first come first served method.
Satellite meeting – EMN-Q
EURAMET, the European association of national metrology institutes, has recently launched the European Metrology Network for Quantum Technologies, the so-called EMN-Q, with the ambition to address the metrology needs in the field through a common strategy including aspects such as research, infrastructure, knowledge transfer and services. Dealing with quantum clocks & atomic sensors, quantum electronics and quantum photonics, the EMN-Q is to engage with industrial and academic partners, standardization bodies and any other type of stakeholders. EMN-Q is also to liaise with the Quantum Flagship. During IQuMS, the participants will learn more about this initiative at the panel discussion on Wednesday and have the opportunity to express their metrology needs at the poster session on Thursday. Importantly, the consultation and discussions will be continued during an open special meeting to be held on Friday 13th of December from 14:00 to 17:00 at Observatoire de Paris; 77, avenue Denfert-Rochereau, 75014 Paris.
The registration is free yet mandatory.
