PAST EDITIONS

ITQW Conference History

The origins of ITQW are as a NATO workshop held in 1991 under the title of “Intersubband Transitions in Quantum Wells.” The core scope of the conference has traditionally been the fundamental physics, device engineering, and applications related to intersubband transitions in III-V quantum wells. Following the success of the original workshop, and amidst the explosion of research surrounding development of quantum-well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) and quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs), the conference has been held every two years in a rotating venue, organized on a volunteer basis. The conference is traditionally workshop style, with a single track, often held in a retreat style venue to encourage close interactions between the participants.
