Mesoscopic Quantum Physics & Beyond

June 26 - 27, 2019

About

The Yale Quantum Institute invites you for a 2-day Symposium on Quantum Mesoscopic Physics, Photonics, and Quantum Information. The program is composed of 19 thirty-minute invited talks split in three thematic sessions. The Symposium dinner will be dedicated to celebrate our colleague A. Douglas Stone and reflect on his contributions to the field of mesoscopic physics.

Organized by Florian Carle, Michel Devoret, Racquel Miller, Harald Schwefel and Hakan Tureci.

Travel and Accommodation

To join your colleagues at the symposium, you can either take the train to New Haven Union Station (serviced by Amtrak, MetroNorth, and Shore Line East) or fly to New York’s nearby airports (JFK, LaGuardia or Newark) and take a shuttle or rent a car to New Haven. Flights are also possible to Hartford (BDL) which is 50 minutes north of New Haven, or directly to New Haven Tweed (NHV) via Philadelphia.

Symposium attendees benefits from a discounted rate of $154 per night at The New Haven Hotel (10-minute walk away from the Yale Quantum Institute). Book your accommodation before May 24, 2019 by calling 1-800-644-6835. Use the group code “Quantum19” in order to receive the group rate.
