The field of quantum science and technologies is growing fast in the recent years in Western Switzerland. This one week school will provide master and PhD students of Lausanne and Geneva a set of introductory courses and scientific seminars on current research topics in Quantum Physics.
7 introductory lectures will be proposed, supported by 7 short research lectures. In addition, a special guest will give a broad introduction to quantum science from the industrial point of view
The lectures will take place at the University of Geneva and at EPFL and participants are encouraged to participate in events at both places. One of the goals is to strengthen the links between the different institutions. Lab tours and poster sessions will be organized for participants, providing an overview of the activities. Transportation will be organized and subsidized between the two institutions.
In order to foster discussions among young researchers, PhD students will be asked to share their respective projects and results with other participants by presenting posters.
Attending the school is free of charge, but subscription is mandatory (deadline 01.11.2019)
