Abstract
The school is addressed to PhD students in quantum information science, particle physics and condensed matter. The students will be introduced to basic concepts in circuit quantum electrodynamics, quantum controls and metrology. The school will also cover main topics in quantum sensing at the precision frontier, quantum-limited amplification and microwave photon counting to significantly improve the sensitivity in axions detection and other dark matter candidates interactions. Participation of experimentalists and post-docs is also encouraged. In 2021 the school will be virtual, from June 21 to July 2. The schedule will be arranged to accommodate students from the US and European time zones.
The school is organized in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, National Quantum Information Science Research Centers, Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center (SQMS).
There is no fee for participation.

Topics
Light-matter interaction in circuit QED
Quantum controls and algorithms
Superconducting circuits
Metrology in circuit QED
Quantum sensing

Jul 01, 2021 - 19:45-20:30	Matteo Rini	Writing Better Scientific Papers	Seminar	Abstract Writing Better Scientific Papers Scientists have a responsibility to share the meaning and implications of their work, but receive little training in communication, and often feel unprepared to communicate with the public, the media, public officers and others outside their own field. In this seminar, I will present a structured approach to writing a scientific paper, focusing on the preparation of a high-impact paper in physics. I will also share some general thoughts on science communication drawn from my experience as a writer, editor, press officer and scientific consultant to policy makers.				Video
