International Workshop on
Engineering and Control of Quantum Systems
October 10 -14, 2011
Scientific Coordinators:
Christiane Koch (Universität Kassel, Institut für Physik, Kassel, Germany)
Giovanna Morigi (Universität des Saarlandes, Theoretische Physik, Saarbrüken, Germany
Organisation:
Mandy Lochar (MPIPKS Dresden, Germany)
A prerequisite for quantum technologies is the creation of
robust quantum mechanical coherence and entanglement. A major
challenge that any implementation of quantum technologies has to face
is that coupling to the environment leads to loss of
coherence: This problem represents a serious obstacle for realizing
scalable protocols. Therefore the search for strategies to combat the
detrimental effects of dissipation and decoherence is at the center
stage of current theoretical and experimental research and requires
the development of novel concepts.
This workshop is devoted to the discussion of the challenges and
perspectives for scaling control strategies up to the mesoscopic
regime. It brings together scientists from the fields of physical
chemistry, atomic, molecular and optical physics, and
quantum information science. The objective is to highlight
theoretical ideas and experimental methods tackling the current
challenges. Current limitations to and future perspectives for
scalable control at the quantum level will be discussed.
