levitation optomechanics quantum engineering

We are happy to announce the 794th WE Heraeus seminar “Exploiting Levitated Particles in the Quantum Regime". It will bring together young researchers and leading scientist working in the field of levitated quantum opto- and electromechanics. The seminar will take place from 4th to 8th of September 2023 in the beautiful Physikzentrum Bad Honnef close to Bonn and Cologne, Germany.

We are pleased to announce the third edition of the “Quantum Engineering of Levitated Systems” workshop. Building on the successes of the previous editions, the workshop focuses on recent developments in the field of quantum systems based on levitation by optical, electric and magnetic techniques with a strong emphasis on mesoscopic systems. Since levitated objects are freely suspended, common mechanical dissipation mechanisms that limit many typical micro- and nanomechanical devices are strongly suppressed.
