Hot Vapor Workshop 2024

Atomic vapor cells have established themselves as an important technology in various areas of quantum sensor technology and metrology. The ‘Hot Vapor Workshop 2024’ took place for the third time from 30 September to 2 October in Stuttgart's Old Palace. More than 150 leading experts from the disciplines of physics, materials science and engineering came together for the three-day workshop to discuss the latest developments and advances in this field.

The workshop focused in particular on developments in the production and application of atomic vapor cells, which are of central importance for precise measurements and quantum technologies. Topics included the improvement of efficiency and stability as well as the miniaturization of these vapor cells. New material combinations and optimizations in production methodology were presented. For example, advances in the integration of atomic vapor cells into complex systems enable applications in quantum communication and security. The ever-increasing stability and sensitivity of atomic vapor cells make them attractive for the development of secure quantum communication systems and also play a role in quantum cryptography, particularly with regard to the generation of quantum mechanical key distributions. The development of compact, integrated systems is paving the way for portable quantum measurement technology, particularly in magnetometry, which is important in various areas from medical diagnostics to environmental monitoring.

Overall, the Hot Vapor Workshop 2024 highlighted the dynamic development of atomic vapor cells and the important contribution of leading researchers to this exciting field of research.
