11 June 2015
The Resonator QED 2015 conference is a continuation of the highly successful Resonator QED 2013 conference, also taking place at Munich from September 09-13, 2013. The Resonator QED 2015 conference will consist of tutorials and invited talks, as well as a small number of contributed talks and poster presentations.
Scope
The NIM Conference on Resonator Quantum Electrodynamics (Resonator QED 2015) aims to bridge two communities in quantum physics – optical cavity QED and solid state circuit QED – to share, pursue and diffuse the benefits of collaborations in the science of elementary quanta. Both fields made spectacular progress in the past years, with a remarkable diversity of demonstrated physical effects. To list a few, milestones include the direct observation of the quantum jumps of microwave light, the deterministic generation and tomography of arbitrary quantum states of a resonator by superconducting quantum bits, the evidence of the Lamb shift in a solid-state system, the generation of nonlinear photonics with one atom, the realization of real-time feedback schemes on single atoms triggered by the detection of single photons, the nondestructive detection of an optical photon as well as the implementation of quantum gates between flying optical photons and stationary matter qubits. It is remarkable that circuit and cavity quantum electrodynamics share the same concepts, whereas they explore different regimes with essentially different techniques. Such complementarities give a strong motivation to bring together the solid-state circuit and the atomic physics cavity groups to form a unified scientific community. Within Resonator QED 2015, the Cluster of Excellence NIM intends to foster interactions between the optical cavity QED and solid state circuit QED communities.
Conference Program
The conference program will start on Monday, August 03, 2015 in the afternoon and end on Friday, August 07, 2015 around lunch time.
The program is structured into eight half-day sessions covering the topics:
Atomic Cavity QED
Solid-State Circuit QED
Solid-State Cavity QED
QIP with Cavity and Circuit QED Systems
Cavity Optomechanics and Circuit Nanoelectromechanics
Low-Dimensional QED Systems
QED without Cavity Hybrid Circuit or Cavity QED Systems
Each session will start with a tutorial. Besides these tutorials and the invited talks there will be contributed talks selected from the contributed abstracts. In addition, there will be two poster sessions. The standard poster size is A0 (841 mm × 1189 mm) upright.
Poster Prize:
There will be a poster prize at our conference sponsored by Applied Physics B. A jury composed of scientists from different fields will select the three best contributions, and presenters will receive a small sum depending on their ranking. Selection criteria for the best poster presentation are originality of the work, clarity in its presentation and an attractive design.
Laboratory Tours:
Laboratory tours at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) and the Walther-Meißner-Institute (WMI) were offered for Monday morning (August 03, 2015, 09 – 12 am) and for Friday afternoon (August 07, 2015, 14 – 17 pm). Both laboratories are located on the Garching Research Campus which can be conveniently reached from the center of Munich by subway U6. A map of Garching Research Campus can be downloaded here.
