Circuit and Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics a Marie Curie Initial Training Network Circuit and Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics a Marie Curie Initial Training Network National Launch Event for Horizon 2020, 28/29 January 2014 in Berlin Printed within the Framework of the CCQED Network (Project Number 264666, Call FP7-People-2010-ITN) Edited by Tatjana Wilk & Andreas Hartmann Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics Hans-Kopfermann-Str. 1 85748 Garching Layout & Design Julia von Ferber 3 We delightfully accepted the invitation to present our Initial Training Network named Circuit and Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (CCQED) at the National Launch Event for Preface Horizon 2020, the new European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, taking place on 28/29 January 2014 in Berlin. Dr. Tatjana Wilk Scientific Coordinator Senior Scientist in the Quantum Dynamics Division at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics Being selected as one among eight, out of all together with David J. Wineland ‘for ground- European projects coordinated in Germany, is breaking experimental methods that enable a great honour for us, and we kindly thank the measuring and manipulation of individual National Contact Point for Marie Curie Actions quantum systems’. for nominating us. With our presentation in Berlin and with this brochure we would like In its growth strategy, Europe 2020, the to share with you what CCQED is all about and European Union stresses the importance what made it so successful. young researchers have for Europe’s future, as they are vital to a knowledge-based society While pioneers of quantum mechanics Albert and to a competitive economy. However, Einstein and Niels Bohr could only think about European research funding is not only about experiments with single atoms and photons, supporting individual researchers, but also we actually do such experiments today in our about creating a European added value that laboratories! Exploring the quantum world cannot be accomplished on a national level. and controlling light-matter interactions at This idea is flourishing in our network, where the level of single quanta lies at the heart of all local partners profit from collaborations and the research done within the CCQED network. the exchange of ideas. Moreover, by forming One of our network partners Serge Haroche the next generation of young scientists, which received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2012 will have expertise in all CCQED related topics, we will fuel the growth of emerging quantum technologies and promote the innovative strength of Europe. We owe special thanks to our network partners and fellows. Only their contributions and support allowed us to prepare the presentation in Berlin and this brochure.
