At this early point in the twenty-first century it is already apparent that a paradigm shift is taking place in numerous areas of technology, as the new science of photonics increasingly outperforms and displaces twentieth century electronics. Prominent examples are high throughput nanoscale connectivity in IT systems, secure and enhanced telecommunications, and quantum computing. Some of the latest advances, aiming to exploit the distinctive quantum properties of light, convey information in the form of highly unconventional structured beams of light. This potentially transformative field is revolutionising many areas of optical physics, yet it has raised numerous questions in urgent need of address at the level of fundamental theory. This workshop brings top experts together in the aim of resolving these issues, laying new mathematical foundations to secure the ground for further progress.
