After the success of the 1^st international workshop on GaAs quantum dots, held at the University of Oxford from May 22-23, 2023, this workshop brings together scientists working on the physics and application of GaAs quantum dots within the FWF Forschungsgruppe FG5, the new Quantera  project MEEDGARD, and other projects. The topics addressed by the workshop are:

• epitaxial growth and physical properties of GaAs quantum dots and heterostructures
• advanced device fabrication enabling low-noise operation, tunability, and high light-matter interaction
• novel methods to excite and control excitons and spins in quantum dots for photon generation and information storage
• advanced spectroscopy methods to access electronic and nuclear spin properties in single quantum dots
• quantum optics experiments with multiple photons emitted by quantum dots

We have a pre-booked number of hotel rooms in the seminar hotel in Traunkirchen and in the nearby village of Ebensee. From Ebensee, a bus leaves every hour to Traunkirchen, it takes 10 minutes. You can download the bus plan here, opens an external URL in a new window. There are also train connections, which can be found at oebb.at, opens an external URL in a new window . 

Prices per person (including breakfast) are as follows:

In the registration process you can indicate that you need a room booked, you will then be contacted by us about the details (arrival, departure, room type) and receive an invoice for the room booking.

Please note that room cancellation is free of charge until 01 March, 2024. Cancellations until March 22, 2024 are 50% refundable, after this date no refunds will be possible.
