Microwave Journal Club

We now also have a mailing list for announcements and possibly discussion. Please contact andreas.huettel@ur.de for the technical details.

Potential presentation topics include, same as in all the previous terms, e.g.,

• microwave resonators, reflectometry, hybrid quantum dot structures
• nanotube nanomechanics, optomechanics
• solid-state cavity qed experiments
• noise in mesoscopic systems
• finite frequency response of materials
• time-domain control / measurement
• quantum information technology
