During the 13th Optoelectronics and Photonics Winter School on Artificial Intelligence for Telecom (AIT 2025), Prof. Adonis Bogris from the University of West Attica (UWA) presented a talk that underscored the role of photonic technologies in computing and highlighted contributions from several European projects—including QPIC1550.
The event took place on 19-25 January 2025 on Monte Bondone, Trento, Italy, and focused on bridging optics/photonics and AI in the context of telecommunications.
In his talk, Prof. Bogris explored how various EU-funded projects—including QPIC1550—are advancing the use of photonic technologies in computing. He placed particular emphasis on neuromorphic and quantum photonics as enabling tools for accelerating AI-driven computing processes, presenting QPIC1550’s contributions in this area, such as the development of integrated quantum photonic components for secure communications and quantum computing.
The Winter School gathered PhD students and young researchers from around the world for an immersive week of lectures delivered by internationally recognized experts. With a capped attendance of 50 participants to foster interaction, the programme offered not only cutting-edge scientific exchange but also downtime to enjoy the alpine setting through skiing, hiking, and relaxation.
Events like this are essential for exposing the next generation of researchers to the forefront of quantum and photonic integration, and QPIC1550 was proud to be part of the discussions shaping the future of AI-enhanced telecom technologies.
