EQUINOX Summer School

8th – 10th July 2025
University of St Andrews School of Physics and Astronomy

Joint Summerschool on Optical Interconnect for AI and Hyperscale

The Horizon Europe projects DYNAMOS, ADOPTION, ALLEGRO, OCTAPUS and PUNCH, the Innovate UK project EQUINOX and the University of St Andrews School of Physics and Astronomy would like to jointly invite you to St Andrews in beautiful Scotland this July to participate in a three day Summer School on Optical Interconnect for AI and Hyperscale.

In this unprecedented joint effort, you will learn about the full optical and photonic eco-system underpinning the new generation of hyperscale data centres, High Performance Computing and AI. This summerschool will introduce you to the following critical topics and report on the latest advances:

  • WDM architectures
  • AI and neuromorphic computing
  • Photonic Integrated Circuits (passive and active) including an introduction to designing PICs
  • Electro-optic modulators and photo-detectors
  • Fast tunable lasers and laser combs
  • Optical PCBs (polymer and glass waveguides)
  • High-speed transceivers
  • Switching and programmable photonics
  • Photonics packaging
  • Quantum ​interconnect
