Workshop: Classical and quantum aspects of light in complex media

近年来，各种不同的社区对光和复杂性产生了共同的兴趣。这包括在复杂生物组织成像、宽带光纤通信、先进光学材料设计、量子技术和量子成像等不同领域工作的科学家。通过将这些领域的一些早期职业研究人员和专家聚集在一起，我们可以在这些领域之间建立新的联系，并发现不同系统中令人惊讶的相似之处。这次会议打破了传统形式，主要聚焦于在温莎大公园的坎伯兰小屋（Cumberland Lodge）这个独特的环境中获得博士学位的10年内的一代早期学者。少数杰出的特邀发言者和全体会议发言者已被选中，介绍他们的突破性研究，并为高质量的讨论奠定基础。与早期研究人员一起，几位杰出的小组成员被邀请讨论科学出版，艺术和企业的当前主题。研讨会的一个重要元素是海报，它构成了会议的中心部分，并将激发参与者之间的讨论。会议将包括来自英国国内和海外国家的多所大学的与会者，目的是在复杂系统方面建立一个强大的国际社区。

Recent years have seen a variety of different communities developing a common interest in light and complexity. This includes scientists working in areas as diverse as imaging in complex biological tissues, broadband optical fibre communication, design of advanced optical materials, quantum technologies and quantum imaging. By bringing together a number of early career researchers and experts in these areas, we can establish new links between these fields and discover often surprising similarities in different systems. The meeting goes outside of traditional formats by focusing primarily on a generation of early-stage academics within 10 years from their PhD in a unique setting, the Cumberland Lodge in Windsor Great Park. A small number of prominent invited and plenary speakers have been selected to present their groundbreaking research and to set the scene for a high-quality discussion. Together with early stage researchers, several prominent panellists are invited to discuss current topics in scientific publishing, art and enterprise. An important element of the workshop is formed by posters, which form a central part of the meeting and will stimulate discussions amongst participants. The meeting will include participants from various universities inside UK as well as from overseas countries and is intended to foster a strong international community of light in complex systems.
