News
Congratulations to Klaus Blaum, recently elected foreign member in the Class for Physics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences Details
The Centre for Time, Constants and Fundamental Symmetries is a new virtual center on Precision Physics with plenty of ion traps LINK
The COST Action has still a large number of possibilities for Short Term Scientific Missions. This important tool of networking will financially support collaboration visits between 5 days and 3 months. It is open to all researchers from participating countries with a priority for younger researchers. Full details about applications are given on this website and in the STSM user guide.
Please submit your project at https://e-services.cost.eu/stsm and choose COST Action CA17133 – Trapped Ions: progress in classical and quantum applications.
The next collection date will be 15 February 2019. If you have further question please contact the STSM chair Łukasz Kłosowski or the Action chair Markus Hennrich
