Conference Description
The Mechanical Systems in the Quantum Regime GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
The GRS offers every participant the opportunity to present in the form of posters, and showcases outstanding works as oral presentations. The "off-the-record" environment fosters free discussions about on-going projects and unpublished data, the development of new collaborations, and a chance to inspire scientific creativity. We aim to have a diverse meeting; thus, we strongly encourage people from underrepresented groups and related fields of research to apply and also submit an abstract for an oral presentation.
The focus of the session will be on understanding, both theoretically and experimentally, what can and cannot be done with mechanical systems close to the quantum regime. The sheer variety of platforms and technologies we have today has enabled accessing various degrees of quantum coherent operation. Nonetheless, major challenges remain in the understanding of how dissipation, multi-partite interaction, and non-linearity influence quantum coherence in the wildly diverse pool of mechanical systems, the solutions of which will ultimately define the bounds of its applications to sensing, information processing, and testing fundamental physics.
