REGISTRATION

The registration fee is €850 and includes the participation to the school, lunch and coffee breaks, accommodation in a double room arrangement, and attendance to the social dinner.
There is a supplement for single room arrangement.

A reduced registration fee of € 600 is applicable if accommodation is not required.

AIM OF THE SCHOOL

The aim of the QMS Winter School is to introduce the attendees to the different applications of quantum technologies for improving the performance of sensors. The lectures will be delivered by world experts in the field and will cover topics from the fundamental aspects of the measure in quantum mechanics to the state of the art devices used for sensing and metrology. The school topics will include magnetic sensing using defect centers and atomic systems, atomic clocks, optical quantum metrology beyond the standard quantum limit, together with general tutorials on fundamental aspects given by keynote speakers.

Morning session (9.00-12.30). Two lectures of 1h30m interrupted by a 30m coffee break.
Lunch break (12.30-14.00)
Afternoon session (14.00-17.30). Two lectures of 1h30m interrupted by a 30m coffee break.

Two lectures are dedicated to tutorials addressing fundamental aspects of quantum measurements and sensing, in order to engage with the broadest possible audience.

The remaining lectures will cover advanced research topics on experimental and theoretical measurements based on quantum systems and detectors technology.

POSTERS

Attendees are encouraged to present a poster on their research work.

The poster session will run on the evening of December 5^th(18.00-20.00) and the presenting authors are required to be available for discussion.

Poster boards are in vertical/portrait format, maximal poster size is A0 (W: 841 mm x H: 1190 mm). All the material necessary for fastening the posters will be provided by organizers and available in the poster room.

SOCIAL EVENT

On Wednesday 6^th December the social dinner will take place (20.00-22.00).

VENUE

The School will take place in the beautiful Villa Tambosi, a baroque building from the 17^th century.

About Trento

Trento is the capital of the Italian province Trentino, located in the middle of the alps. It is a city of around 100,000 people with a beautiful medieval centre.

During the school the centre will be buzzling with people because of the traditional Christmas markets that take place in piazza Fiera and surrounding streets.

Beautiful places to visit are the Castle of Buonconsiglio and the MUSE – Science Museum

Other locations in the province can reached by train or bus: for further informations visit the dedicated website
