Vescent Photonics: From garage startup to Quantum 2.0
Abstract: Eduardo Otezia, Ph.D., will present how Vescent Photonics grew from a startup company to become one of the leading designers and manufacturers of lasers, electro-optic tools, and control electronics used in precision optical measurements. Eduardo will provide an overview of their laboratory and field-deployable products which enable state-of-the-art timing, time transfer, frequency transfer, quantum computing, precision navigation in both GPS-enabled & GPS-denied environments, next-generation spectroscopic techniques, and a host of other applications propelled by Quantum 2.0. Eduardo will spend the second half of his talk in a more informal session with students, describing some internship and job opportunities available at Vescent for 2023. Undergraduate and graduate students interested in joining a quantum company that has knowledge in circuits, photonics, mechanical systems, and software programming should be sure to attend and bring their questions.
