DESCRIPTION:Prof. Ivan B. Djordjevic\nQuantum communication (QuCom) harnes
 ses the quantum properties of light to enable functionalities unrealizable
  by classical techniques. While QuComs have been individually validated in
  free-space\, optical fibers\, and between a satellite and ground station\
 , a combined heterogeneous quantum communication network (QCN) with multip
 le types of channels remains elusive. There are several main barriers to o
 vercome before QuComs and QCNs become reality. In this talk we describe di
 fferent strategies to overcome these barriers and develop the global\, sec
 ure\, and reconfigurable QCNs. We also describe the research activities to
  be pursued at EPFL/PSI and proposed MS program in quantum information sci
 ence and engineering.\n\nShort bio:\nIvan B. Djordjevic is a professor of 
 electrical and computer engineering and optical sciences at the University
  of Arizona\; director of the Optical Communications Systems Laboratory (O
 CSL) and Quantum Communications (QuCom) Lab\; and co-director of the Signa
 l Processing and Coding Lab. He is both IEEE Fellow and OSA Fellow. He  r
 eceived the Ph.D. degree from the University of Nis\, Yugoslavia\, in 1999
 .\nDr. Djordjevic has authored or co-authored eight books and more than 54
 0 journal and conference publications. He holds 54 US patents. Dr. Djordje
 vic serves as an Area Editor/Associate Editor/Member of the Editorial Boar
 d for the following journals: IEEE Communications Letters\, OSA/IEEE Journ
 al of Optical Communications and Networking\, IOP Journal of Optics\, Phys
 ical Communication Journal (Elsevier)\, Optical and Quantum Electronics (S
 pringer)\, and Frequenz (De Gruyter). He received more than $ 5 million in
  funding in the last five years.\nPrior to joining the University of Arizo
 na\, Dr. Djordjevic held appointments at University of Bristol and Univers
 ity of the West of England in UK\, Tyco Telecommunications in USA\, Nation
 al Technical University of Athens in Greece\, and State Telecommunication 
 Company in Yugoslavia.
