The Single Photon Workshop (SPW) is the largest conference dedicated to the world of single photons, from generation and detection technologies to their applications. This biennial international workshop has become a traditional gathering for a wide range of people from academia, industry, and government interested in single-photon technologies, which are vital to applications such as quantum cryptography, quantum information processing, quantum imaging, and quantum metrology. Fields such as astrophysics, nuclear physics, and biology also benefit from developments in single-photon technologies.

SPW is an exciting opportunity for all those who are interested in these advanced technologies to learn about the state of the art and foster continuing partnerships with others seeking to advance the capabilities of such technologies.

The 12th international Single Photon Workshop 2026 (SPW2026) will be hosted by the University of Napoli Federico II in its Campus Universitario S. Giovanni a Teduccio, a worldwide known place for its important achievements in the technological innovation and transfer, from Monday 6th to Friday 10th July 2026.

Professor Giovanni Piero Pepe, University of Naples Federico II, and Professor Francesco Saverio Cataliotti, University of Florence, will be very happy to welcome you to the prestigious 12th Single Photon Workshop in Naples (Italy).
