Presentation Instructions
The duration of a presentation slot is 13 minutes. You will have 10 minutes for the presentation itself and 3 minutes for questions from the audience.
A LCD projector & computer (Windows, MS Powerpoint & Adobe Acrobat Reader) will be available in the auditorium.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST BRING A MEMORY STICK CONTAINING YOUR PRESENTATION FILE.
Files can be uploaded to the local PCs in the lecture rooms during the coffee breaks or at lunch. You CANNOT use your own computer.
To avoid software compatibility problems (MS Powerpoint), speakers are advised to EMBED ALL FONTS in your Powerpoint file AND bring a backup PDF-version of your presentation.
Speakers should arrive in their session room 15 minutes BEFORE the start of your session to report to the session chair.
Students attending the Student Paper Competition MUST be the speaker of their presentations.
Selection process
The recommended poster size is A0 (841×1189 mm).
Presenters are requested to print and bring their posters along with them as there will be no poster printing service provided by the conference organizers.
Authors must place their posters before the Poster Session, preferably in the morning before the coffee break or during lunchtime.
At least one author must stand by the poster during the poster session and be prepared to answer attendees’ questions.
Students attending the Student Paper Competition MUST present their posters.
Authors must collect their posters after the Poster Session.
ENSBFoton 2026 Student Paper Competition is organized by SBFoton and financially supported by SPIE.
Our goals
Eligibility
To register for the competition, each participant must attend ENSBFoton 2026 as an undergraduate or a graduate student when he/she submitted the paper, must be the first author and must present the paper at the conference.
Registration
The submission to the Student Paper Competition should provide the paper conference number/code, in accordance with the SBFoton Conference Technical Program, the student’s name and the university where the research was carried out by the competitor as a graduate student when the work was done.
Selection process
The Student Paper Competition is a juried track for ENSBFoton 2026. Juried content will be peer-reviewed by experts who will evaluate the work based on its overall quality, originality, and relevance to the SBFoton community, as perceived by them for the oral presentation during the designated Technical Session. The competitor’s performance will be assessed by the following criteria:
For the final score computation, the score received from peer reviewers during the review process, prior to the conference, will also be taken into account.
Awards
The competition results will take place during the Closing Ceremony. The top three oral and top three poster presentations will receive USD 250.00 from the competition sponsor (SPIE).
Manuscript preparation
EDAS submission
Acceptance will be communicated by June 22, and final versions of accepted papers may be uploaded up to July 13.
Aug 12th - Quantum Information
Prof. Dr. Breno Marques Gonçalves Teixeira
Professor at the Universidade Federal do ABC, where he works on the experimental implementation of quantum information protocols in single photons in free space and on photonic chips.
A informação quântica investiga o aprimoramento de processos informacionais por meio da exploração de propriedades quânticas de sistemas físicos. Diferentes propostas de algoritmos quânticos fundamentam-se em características não clássicas distintas. Este minicurso apresenta uma revisão das propriedades quânticas de sistemas físicos sob a perspectiva da teoria da informação, demonstrando sua aplicação em protocolos centrados nestes fenômenos. Além disso, abordaremos a utilização de estados da luz como plataforma física para a implementação experimental de protocolos de informação quântica.
Inicialmente, serão discutidos os princípios fundamentais da mecânica quântica relevantes para o processamento e transmissão de informação, incluindo superposição, interferência e emaranhamento quântico. Tais propriedades permitem o desenvolvimento de estratégias computacionais e comunicacionais que não possuem equivalentes clássicos diretos, abrindo caminho para ganhos de eficiência em determinadas tarefas de processamento de dados, criptografia e simulação de sistemas físicos complexos.
Em seguida, serão apresentados exemplos de protocolos de informação quântica que exploram esses recursos, como distribuição quântica de chaves, teleportação quântica e algoritmos voltados à aceleração computacional. A análise desses protocolos será conduzida de forma conceitual e operacional, enfatizando a relação entre as propriedades físicas dos sistemas quânticos e as vantagens informacionais obtidas a partir delas.
Por fim, o minicurso discutirá aspectos experimentais associados à implementação de sistemas quânticos ópticos, destacando o papel da fotônica quântica como uma das principais plataformas para aplicações em informação quântica. Serão introduzidos conceitos relacionados à geração, manipulação e detecção de estados quânticos da luz, bem como os desafios tecnológicos envolvidos na construção de dispositivos e arquiteturas voltados ao processamento quântico de informação.
Aug 13th - Optical networks and cloud computing
Prof. Dr. Gustavo Sousa Pavani
Professor at the Universidade Federal do ABC, working mainly on the following topics: ant colony optimization (ACO) and multi-agent systems (MAS), routing algorithms in optical path-switched networks and optical packets, GMPLS control plane, and optical network support for grid architectures.
As redes ópticas desempenham um papel essencial na infraestrutura moderna de comunicação, permitindo a transmissão de grandes volumes de dados com alta velocidade, baixa latência e maior confiabilidade. Utilizando fibras ópticas como meio de transmissão, essas redes são fundamentais para suportar aplicações que exigem desempenho elevado, como streaming, inteligência artificial, internet das coisas e serviços em tempo real. O avanço das tecnologias ópticas tem impulsionado a expansão da conectividade global e a evolução das redes de próxima geração.
A computação em nuvem, por sua vez, revolucionou a forma como empresas e usuários acessam recursos computacionais, oferecendo serviços sob demanda de armazenamento, processamento e aplicações pela internet. Modelos como IaaS, PaaS e SaaS permitem maior flexibilidade, escalabilidade e redução de custos operacionais. A integração entre redes ópticas e ambientes em nuvem é indispensável para garantir eficiência no transporte de dados entre data centers, usuários e aplicações distribuídas.
Este minicurso tem como objetivo apresentar os fundamentos das redes ópticas e da computação em nuvem, explorando conceitos, arquiteturas, tecnologias e aplicações práticas. Serão abordados temas como transmissão óptica, multiplexação, virtualização, serviços em nuvem e desafios relacionados à segurança e desempenho. Ao final, os participantes terão uma visão integrada dessas tecnologias e sua importância para a transformação digital e a infraestrutura das comunicações modernas.
