Stellar Intensity Interferometry Workshop – Waischenfeld (Germany) – October 13 – 17, 2025

The workshop Stellar Intensity Interferometry aims at gathering researchers involved in the modern revival of intensity interferometry, its enabling technologies (detectors, photonics…) and closely related interferometric techniques. It combines the two successful workshops from last year „Stellar Intensity Interferometry“ (Porquerolles, French Riviera) and „Future Prospects of Intensity Interferometry“ (Perimeter Institute, Canada).

Topics include:

  • History
  • Science Goals
  • Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs)
  • Optical Telescopes
  • Arrays of Small Telescopes
  • Amplitude Interferometry
  • Detector Development
  • Quantum Optics with II
  • Image Reconstruction & Advanced Methods
