The symposia aim to explore the latest developments and applications in the fields of quantum and complex optics.
They will bring together six invited speakers from France and abroad who will present and discuss their most recent work on topics at the intersection of quantum optics, nonlinear optics, and optics in disordered and complex media.

The event will take place in two separate sessions:
Session 1: November 21, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Session 2: November 28, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Registration is free for one or both sessions. Deadline is the 16th of Novembre 2025.
