Tutorial 3: Quantum Communication as Critical Infrastructure for Power System Operations
Theme: Quantum Communication
Duration: 3.0 Hrs
Speaker: Hillol Biswas
Affiliation: Advisor, Power Division, Senior Member IEEE, Industry, WAPCOS LIMITED, Gurgaon
Tutorial Details: In this tutorial, quantum communication is portrayed as essential to power system operations, with a focus on how it enhances timing, coordination, and trust rather than just enhancing cryptographic security. With an emphasis on system-level architecture and real-world implementation, it presents quantum key distribution and quantum-enhanced time synchronization in the context of SCADA and PMU-based grid operations. The talk places more emphasis on standards alignment and practical relevance than on the specifics of mathematics or quantum hardware, given the current state of utility research and implementation.
Tutorial 4: From Miniaturized Mass Spectrometry to Scalable Quantum Computing
Theme: MEMs
Duration: 3.0 hrs
Speaker: Deepak Kumar Sharma
Affiliation: Scientist/Engineer in MEMS foundry of Laboratory for Electro optics systems (LEOS), Indian space research organization (ISRO)
Tutorial Details: Linear ion traps have emerged as one of the most versatile technologies in modern science, enabling revolutionary advances in both miniature mass spectrometry and trapped-ion quantum computing. While originally developed for precise manipulation and analysis of charged particles in analytical chemistry, recent developments in microfabrication, MEMS, and CMOS-compatible processes have transformed linear ion traps into scalable platforms for quantum information processing. This tutorial provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics, design principles, fabrication technologies, and applications of linear ion traps. Beginning with the fundamentals of ion motion in radio-frequency (RF) electric fields, participants will learn the concepts of quadrupole potentials, Mathieu equations, pseudopotential approximation, stability regions, secular frequencies, and ion confinement. The tutorial then explores miniaturized mass spectrometers, covering ion generation techniques, planar linear ion traps, CMOS-compatible fabrication, MEMS integration, miniature vacuum systems, ion detection methods, and performance metrics such as mass resolution and sensitivity.
