Week Konstanz
This is yet another overdue report: week 16-20 August in Konstanz.
Konstanz is a beautiful city at Bodenzee lake and German-Swiss border. My old collaborator Wolfgang Belzig works there. Yet none of those was a reason to visit there this time.
Guido Burkhard and Daniel Loss have had a splendid idea to organize a school/workshop on spin-based quantum information processing. Besides an interesting and “hot” central topic, the gathering was exceptionally well planned: all aspects and directions of the activity were represented by prominent speakers giving long and informative talks, younger people presenting newer things in shorther talks, big number of students with posters, opportunities for discussions etc. Not mentioning exclusive location and good food:)
I talked about spin superconducting qubits.
