The NQO COST Action’s Working Group 1 and Working Group 3 are organising a workshop open to all on Single Photons and Single Spins, to be held at the University of Technology of Troyes (UTT), France, from Tuesday 29th to September 1st, 2017. The overarching goal of the workshop is the foster and nurture connections between academic and industrial european actors involved in Nanoscale Quantum Optics. This is the second instalment of this workshop after the SPSS 2016 meeting in Oxford. This event is supported by the UTT, the CNRS and the CNRS Research Network (GdR) on Quantum Engineering: From Fundamentals to Applications (IQFA) and MajuLab, CNRS-UNS-NUS-NTU International Joint Research Unit, Singapore, as well as the French Laboratory of Excellence (Labex) ACTION on Integrated Smart Systems.
