Students will give presentations in pairs on current experimental research in Quantum Information Processing. Each group has 30 min for the presentation plus 15 minutes for questions. A list of references for the presentation topics can be found below. Each presenter will be assessed by the other students, so that you can find out for yourselves how good your presentation skills are, and how you might improve them. The evaluation form is available here, information slides can be downloaded here.
Currently the following students are assigned for a talk: Frederik Lohof, Tim Menke, Joannis Lukas Viktor Koepsell, Jean-Claude Besse, Oliver Wipfli, David Nadlinger, Lukas Pascal Gerster, Marc Serra Garcia, Gustavo Filipe Ferreira Villares, Valentin Luc Adrien Goblot, Christian Daniel Vázquez Dietiker, Natasja Jovanovic, Maud Charlotte Barthélemy, Andrea Rocchetto, Christoph Fischer, Yuanyuan Deng, Henry Edzard Clausen, Ralf Kohrt, Adrian Ryser, Junxin Chen, Chi Zhang, Kathrin Svenja Gerhard.
Sign-Up
Please remember the following rules for the sign-up and the talks:
1) Every presentation can only be done by a maximum of 2 people.
2) Only enter your name into the name field! Do not sign up as two people in the doodle. Otherwise this might result in overbooking a subject.
3) There are two in-lecture presentations, which should be done in the second hour of the main lecture. All the other presentations are held during the exercise class.
4) For each subject an introductory lecture is given by Andreas Wallraff one week before the presentation, except for the Rydberg atoms, which will be on the same day.
The doodle poll is closed.
