Together with Mike Steel, we’re hosting the Winter workshop on quantum acoustics and optomechanics at Macquarie University (24-25 July 2025)!
The workshop will feature several invited and contributed talks on state-of-the-art platforms and implementations of quantum acoustics, opto- and electromechanics, from the Australian experts.
