Μodern photonics and quantum optics technology has in recent years made impressive progress in creating novel classical as well as non-classical states of light. Such states have been used to advance spectroscopy, develop new light-based technologies and probe inanimate matter with increased precision. An exciting new direction has been the use of such novel light sources to study living matter, from the cellular level of photoreceptors, to the level of human vision. The 1st Quantum Vision workshop aims to highlight and explore the recent advances that merge photonics and quantum optics with the physiology of human and animal vision. The workshop will facilitate interactions and inspire collaborations between researchers from a broad range of disciplines, such as: quantum optics, biophysics, visual perception and neuroscience, optometry, opthalmology, and even machine vision and human-machine interfaces.
Topics: quantum optics, visual neuroscience, optometry, machine vision
