Students will give presentations in groups up to 3 people on current experimental research in Quantum Information Processing. Each group has 30 min for the presentation plus 15 minutes for questions. A list of references for the presentation topics can be found below. Each presenter will be assessed by the other students, so that you can find out for yourselves how good your presentation skills are, and how you might improve them. The evaluation form is available here, information slides can be downloaded here.
Please sign up for which preferred quantum-system implementation you would like to give a talk. Possible topics within this implementation can be found below.
Please remember the following rules for the sign-up and the talks:
1) Every presentation can only be done by a maximum of 3 people. 2 are preferred!
2) Only enter your name into the name field! Do not sign up as two people in the doodle (see below). Otherwise this might result in overbooking a subject.
3) There might be in-lecture presentations, which should be done in the second hour of the main lecture. All the other presentations are held during the exercise class.
4) For each subject an introductory lecture is given one week before the presentation.
5) Please contact your supervisor (indicated in "Topic") at least 2 weeks before your presentation date to set dates for a) discussing the paper and b) practise the talk.
6) Write a short abstract on your talk (max. 0.5 pages) and send it to (tthiele@phys.ethz.ch) until wednesday before your presentation.
