WE-Heraeus-Seminar: Hybrid Quantum Systems

We are pleased to announce the 519th WE-Heraeus-Seminar "Hybrid Quantum Systems", to be held on November 25-28, 2012 at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany.

With the seminar, we aim to gather about 20 world leading experts on the coupling and interfacing of different quantum systems and to bring them into contact with a group of about 60 attendees. In addition to the 45 min talks, there will be ample time for informal meetings which will allow us to mingle ideas, to investigate new directions, and to establish cross connections between the various fields and theoretical vistas.

Invited speakers:

Oliver Benson (HU Berlin)
Patrice Bertet (CEA Saclay)
Andrew D. Briggs (Oxford)
Vladimír Bužek (RCQI Bratislava)
