Tuesday, August 29 - Friday, September 1, 2017

Kardinal-Wendel-Haus München

The NIM Conference on Resonator Quantum Electrodynamics (Resonator QED 2017) 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 2017, the Cluster of Excellence NIM intends to foster interactions between the optical cavity QED and solid state circuit QED communities.  

The conference program will start on Tuesday, August 29, 2017 in the morning and end on Friday, September 1, 2017 in the afternoon. 

The program is structured into eight half-day sessions.

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.

On Monday, 16:00 h laboratory tours will take place at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) and the Walter Schottky Institute (WSI). For further information and registration, please download the Lab Tour Info.
