1. Welcome to “Quantum Engineering of States and Devices”!

2. The program
Aims:
To bring together leading experts on various aspects related to Q. E. S. D.
To provide young researchers with the opportunity to be exposed to recent progresses in Q. E. S. D.
To test how different systems may be treated with common theoretical paradigms
A deliberately wide range of topics addressed in the lectures

4. Round Table discussion on Tuesday, 20:00
Why now?
We judged it was timely, and we are happy to see that we were not the only ones:
Perimeter Institute (May 2010)
MPI Dresden (June )
Bad Honnef (June ) …
Round Table discussion on Tuesday, 20:00

5. Enjoy (the rather dense program…) !
Few announcements:
All sessions will be recorded and made available on the web;
Speakers are kindly requested to put their presentations on the “official” computer;
There are two poster sessions on Sunday and Monday (at 20:30): prizes for the two better posters
Tuesday afternoon will be dedicated to walk on the mountains and/or discussions;
