CQE Workshop on Josephson arrays in the quantum regime

Large arrays of Josephson junctions are emerging as appealing systems both for technological applications and fundamental studies. Developments in nanofabrication, quantum control, and readout have opened new avenues for quantum-limited sensing, amplification, and signal processing. Moreover, Josephson arrays have proven their potency for analog quantum simulation, and are already tipping the scale in the fundamental research of many-body systems, exposing regimes where interactions, disorder, and nonequilibrium drive combine in ways that challenge existing theoretical frameworks. 

The goal of this workshop is to bring this group of CQE scientists together to strengthen existing ties, identify shared interests, and plant the seeds for further shared endeavors in the Midwest. We expect this gathering to spark new research directions for both applied and fundamental science, building towards the long-term goals of developing useful quantum devices, and answering foundational questions on thermalization and non-equilibrium phenomena. 

Join a one-day workshop to advance the theoretical understanding required to translate conceptual findings to practical technology, and guide experimentalists to engineer setups that test hypotheses and promote new fundamental and technological ideas.
