Realization of a hybrid atom-optomechanical system is a first
A recent PRL on the realization of a hybrid atom-optomechanical system involving AQUTE researchers in the University of Basel, received some attention, including a "Physics viewpoint" and an article in the January issue of the Physik Journal.
AQUTE 2nd year review meeting, 20th of April, 2012, in Mainz
The 2nd year AQUTE review meeting has been scheduled on the 20th of April, 2012, in Mainz. As usual by now, the review will happen within the cluster review meeting, that will run in Mainz from the 18th to the 20th of April, 2012, featuring the QIPC open day on the 19th.
The next Q-ESSENCE Consortium meeting will take place during the QIPC 2011 conference in Zurich. The exact time is 16:30-18:50 on Friday 9th September 2011.

We are looking forward to the second review meeting to be hosted by Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa on the 30.09.2011
Workshop on "Entanglement in Solid State Systems" will be held on Sept. 20-22 2011 in Lecce, Italy.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in different fields to compare experiences, approaches and strategies to control entanglement in different solid state quantum systems, such as nuclear & electronic spins, quantum dots & wires, superconducting & hybrid structures, impurities in solids, polaritons, etc. More specifically,
topics involved are:
-control, generation, robustness and transfer of entanglement;
-measurement of entanglement.
The registration for the FET QIFT Open Day held on 15th April in Warsaw and Cluster Review, 14th April, is open.
