We are hosting a small workshop on Quantum Engineering from 27th to 28th July 2005.  Emphasis is on systems with applications in quantum information and quantum computing.  Spaces at this workshop are extremely limited.  If you are interested in attending please e-mail snicchormaic@cit.ie.   The cost of attending is €25 (incl. lunch and coffee breaks).   Please click here to see the workshop programme.
Organisers
Síle Nic Chormaic, Cork Institute of Technology
Thomas Busch, University College Cork

Accommodation
Accommodation has been booked in Victoria Lodge for those delegates who have requested it.  Breakfast will be served in the small café at the Lodge.

Victoria Lodge is located about 30-40 minutes walk from the Quantum Engineering Workshop location.  The workshop is being held in the Photonics Building of the Tyndall National Institute.  As an alternative to working, the no. 8 bus stops outside Victoria Lodge and close to Tyndall on Mardyke Parade.  You will find a map
here.

Check-in in Victoria Lodge is between 3pm and 10pm.  Those arriving on the 26th July can check-in immediately on their day of arrival.  If you are arriving outside these times please let us know. 

For those arriving on the 27th July we recommend that you come straight to the Tyndall National Institute from the train station/airport since the meeting will be starting at 1.30pm.  You will be able to check-in to Victoria Lodge after the talks on the first day are over (at approximately 5.30pm).  We will arrange taxis to bring you to Victoria Lodge from Tyndall at this time.
