Abstract

The Joint XXIV International Scientific Youth School “Coherent optics and optical spectroscopy” & “Diamond based quantum information and sensing” (COOS 2020) took place virtually via the program Microsoft Teams in Kazan Federal University, 10-11 December 2020, Kazan, Russia. The virtual format of the School was chosen due to the covid-19 restrictions. The organisers were at Kazan Federal University and Tatarstan Academy of Science, Kazan. The School had the plenary session of invited speakers with 30 minutes, oral presentations of students, postgraduates, and young scientists lasting 15 minutes, and a poster section in a separate channel of the School’s command in the Microsoft Teams. The presentation process remained unchanged, questions were asked at the end of the speech in oral form and written form (in the School’s chat). The School follows the global tendency to comprehensive studies of matter properties and its interaction with electromagnetic fields. Since 1997 more than 100 famous scientists from USA, China, Germany, Sweden, Australia, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia had plenary lectures presentations. There were about 70 participants with presentations at the joint scientific School in 2020. This is the right place, where young scientists had an opportunity to participate in hot discussions of the latest scientific news. Many young people have submitted interesting reports on photonics, quantum electronics, laser physics, quantum optics, traditional optical and laser spectroscopy, non-linear optics, material science, nanotechnology, and educational technologies in the natural sciences. Here we are publishing the full-size papers prepared from the most interesting lectures and reports selected by the Program Committee of the School. Plenary sessions were offered by the following invited speakers: Ildar Gabitov, Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Moscow, Russia, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, USA • Intra-channel interaction of pulses in high-speed fiber-optic lines Taras Plakhotnik, Queensland University, Queensland, Australia • The challenge of intracellular temperature Sergey Sazonov, National Research Center “Kurchatov Institute”, M.V.
