ICON & CONNECT Centre explore quantum communications research

Quantum ZeitgeistOctober 14, 20263 min read

A three-day summer school examined the technologies shaping future communications networks, including how optical fibre can connect quantum computers, detect earthquakes, and reduce the energy demands of AI data centres. Organised by the ICON Project and the CONNECT Research Ireland Centre for Future Networks and Communications, the Summer School on Optical Communication 2026 brought researchers from Ireland, Europe and the United States to Trinity College Dublin from 2–5 September.

From connecting quantum computers to detecting undersea earthquakes, optical fibre technology is rapidly expanding beyond traditional communication roles. Between September 2-5, leading researchers from Ireland, Europe, and the United States convened at Trinity College Dublin for the Summer School on Optical Communication 2026, hosted by the ICON Project and CONNECT…
