The ability to engineer and manipulate different types of quantum mechanical objects allows us to take advantage of their unique properties and create useful hybrid technologies. Thus far, complex quantum states and exquisite quantum control have been demonstrated in systems ranging from trapped ions to superconducting resonators. Recently, there have been many efforts to extend these demonstrations to the motion of complex, macroscopic objects.

• Experimental exploration

 Cooling close to absolute zero temperature: a recipe for discoveries

Wolfgang Ketterle, 2001 Nobel Laureate

This 7-day conference aims to bring scientists from China and Canada together, to nourish more extensive collaborations and to educate younger generations. The invited talks covers many aspects of quantum technologies, including quantum information theory and implementation, quantum cryptography and quantum communication, quantum materials, quantum metrology, and quantum foundations.

The Quantum Innovators in science and engineering workshop brings together the most promising young researchers in quantum physics and engineering. Guests are invited for a four-day conference aimed at exploring the frontier of our field.

Quantum technology for the curriculum

Join us for three days at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) for Schrödinger's Class November 30 – Decemeber 2, 2018. You will have the opportunity to attend lectures and engage in hands-on activities focused on the integration of quantum technology into the current teaching curriculum. We will discuss quantum information science and technology to give you a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics.

The deadline to apply is Monday, October 22, 2018.

Microwave optomechanical circuits have been demonstrated in the past years to be powerful tools for both, exploring fundamental physics of macroscopic and massive quantum objects as well as being promising candidates for novel on-chip quantum limited microwave devices. In this work, we explore a microwave optomechanical device consisting of a coplanar microwave cavity coupled to a mechanical high quality factor nanobeam resonator.

Peter Schumacher, Saarland University

We present an efficient gap-independent cooling scheme for a quantum annealer that benefits from finite temperatures.
