The number of defects which are generated upon crossing a quantum phase transition can be minimized by choosing properly designed time-dependent pulses. In this work we determine what are the ultimate limits of this optimization. We discuss under which conditions the production of defects across the phase transition is vanishing small.

The Commission ICT Work-Programme 2011-2012 feature an interesting Objective under FET-Open, namely "Objective ICT-2011.9.4: International cooperation on FET research". This consist in a funding scheme that provides additional funding to existing grant for on-going FET IPs and STREPs ending at least 18 months after the submission date of the proposal (click on the tab below to access the full Objective text as published in the WP).

• Superconducting Qubits
• Hybrid Quantum Systems
• Mesoscopic Physics
• Single Electronics
• Microwave Quantum Optics
• Nanofabrication
• Scanning Microscopy
• Decoherence

FUTURE AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES QIFT OPEN DAY will take place on 15th April 2011 at University of Warsaw.
 

The purpose of the Open Day is to promote European research in Quantum Information Foundations and Technologies (QIFT) on a broad forum involving government, academia, media, and industry. The event will also provide an opportunity to discuss forthcoming initiatives in Future and Emerging Technologies. 

This will be a session open to all members of the QIP research community. The Program includes both European and non-European speakers and representatives of the European Commission.

Q-Essence project will have its session during the FP6 and FP7 QIP Open Day + FP6 IP Cluster Review that takes place on 6-8 July at Wadham College, Oxford, UK. The registration for the event is now open.

• Superconducting qubits
• Solitons in Josephson junctions
• Imaging sources of dissipation and nonlinearity in superconductors
• Intrinsic localized modes (discrete breathers)
