We just spent 3 great days talking science and enjoing the Tirol mountains at area47.

Over the past few days, IST Austria became a meeting point for quantum technology experts during the “Frontiers of Circuit QED and Optomechanics” (FCQO18) conference. The meeting with about 110 participants addressed a wide range of topics from reservoir engineering to hybrid quantum devices to quantum error correction (press release).

The conference Frontiers of Circuit QED and Optomechanics will take place at IST Austria on Feb. 12 to 14. We aim to bring together the leading scientists in Circuit QED, Electro/Optomechanics and hybrid systems. Registration is open now and we are excited to announce the preliminary program:

Nonreciprocal circuit elements form an integral part of modern measurement and communication systems. Mathematically they require breaking of time-reversal symmetry, typically achieved using magnetic materials and more recently using the quantum Hall effect, parametric permittivity modulation or Josephson nonlinearities. We realized an in-situ reconfigurable, magnetic-free, on-chip circulator based on reservoir-engineered electromechanic interactions.

In February we are organizing a conference in Semmering, a small skiing resort close to Vienna. The topics include quantum opto- and electromechanics, circuit QED and everything in between. More details including our current list of invited speakers at https://ist.ac.at/fcqo18/invited-speakers/.

[Update: Due to a delay in the construction and renovation works at Hotel Panhans we were forced to relocate the conference to the IST Austria campus.]
