Just to remind you all of the talk by Borja Peropadre:
tomorrow (i.e. Friday)´at 11:30 in the division room.
Then I will go for lunch with the guest:
I will be glad if 2-3 other student/post-doc decide to join us.
(yes, "I" am inviting you)

Subject: IMPORTANT: Talk by Borja Peropadre POST-PONED: 03-29-2013 at 11:30

Dear all,

It is a pleasure to announce Borja's talk on Friday, March 29th, at 11:30.

Borja Peropadre is a PhD student in the group of Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll at CSIC in Madrid (Spain).
http://quinfog.iff.csic.es/borja-peropadre
He will visit our group this week, March 26th-29th.
He is interested in our research and in discussing with us, therefore I will organize a schedule with private discussion on Tuesday and on Thursday.
Please, let me know if you are interested in discussing with Borja (otherwise I will try to select a representative sample based on our research topics).

-- Title:
Controlling quantum systems in circuit QED designs.

-- Abstract:
The filed of circuit QED is widely considered the on-chip realization of cavity QED, where superconducting artificial atoms and microwave photons interact at the quantum level. The large tunability attainable in these solid-state devices, has made possible the achievement of the the so-called strong and ultrastrong coupling between light and matter.
In this talk, I will show how we can take advantage of this large degree of control in circuit QED to manipulate the light-matter interaction, and ultimately the microwave photons in a resonator or propagating in an open transmission line. This offers a wide range of applications, ranging from quantum communications, condensed matter physics, to simulations in Quantum Field Theory.

Best regards,
Gian Giacomo
