Re: [ARTIQ] ARTIQ users meeting
Another possibility would be in the DC area, before or after the Gordon Conference on Atomic Physics (June 11-16, 2017, Newport, RI). Maybe even between DAMOP and the Gordon Conference...

Re: [ARTIQ] ARTIQ users meeting
We had some brief discussions on this subject at the NIST group meeting today, with responses inline below: > * Venue? some ideas: NIST, JQI, DESY, Oxford, CERN, Warsaw University of > Technology, Chinese University of Hong Kong. We strongly prefer a location inside the US (much easier to arrange travel and bring a larger group). It seems that JQI would be a good potential location because: - relatively easy to get to DC area from Europe, Colorado, east coast -- close to "center of mass" for likely attendees (sorry Sebastien!) - likely we would want to invite funding agencies to observe/participate, so holding meeting in the DC area makes their participation more likely - ARL and JQI are two major funding/development drivers at present so it is a natural location > * It would be convenient to have it before or after an existing physics > conference (e.g. APS DAMOP 2017 is June 5-9 in Sacramento, CA) This might increase attendance (although is relatively immaterial for Creotech/WUT + M-Labs), but I think people tend to be pretty wiped out after a major conference so I don't think it's necessarily a big plus. One possibility, especially if we are interested in involving funding agents, would be to hold it immediately before/after an IARPA LogiQ Technical Exchange meeting, for example. This would probably gather more of the relevant players than DAMOP as well. It would also make travel to/from the conference more cost-effective for ARTIQ users which are LogiQ performers/support teams (e.g. NIST, JQI, Duke, Georgia Tech, etc). > * What would you like to see at such a conference? I can identify several areas in which such a conference could be useful, which I list roughly in order of priority: - discussing and refining plans for future ARTIQ development -- along the lines of the discussions at the quarterly site visits during the past NIST contracts - tutorials/workshops (ideally also webcast/recorded) -- to help give structural and practical information and introduction to main features of ARTIQ, including new features such as DRTIO - securing additional funding -- demonstrating to funding agents that the ARTIQ user community is broad-based and that ARTIQ enables important work could unlock additional funding for developing next-generation capabilities - building user community -- bringing new users onboard, creating links and collaborations between groups, finding areas of interest for joint funding of specific developments, etc. - sharing results -- reports on experiments/techniques performed with ARTIQ (especially if ARTIQ is an enabling technology) > * Would you present something? Depending on the structure and goals of the conference, the NIST group would likely be interested in presenting as appropriate. > * Would you attend a conference if it were on your continent?

The cost and red tape for international travel would make it prohibitive to bring a sizeable NIST contingent to a non-US location.

[ARTIQ] ARTIQ users meeting
Hi, The idea of organizing an in-person meeting for current and prospective ARTIQ users has been floating for a while. We'd like to get a conversation started on this topic. Some of this email is taken from Joe's GitHub issue #582. * Venue? some ideas: NIST, JQI, DESY, Oxford, CERN, Warsaw University of Technology, Chinese University of Hong Kong. * It would be convenient to have it before or after an existing physics conference (e.g. APS DAMOP 2017 is June 5-9 in Sacramento, CA) * We need organizers taking care of logistics, publicity, conference program, social activities, catering. * M-Labs can hold several tutorials/workshops. * What would you like to see at such a conference? * Would you present something? * Would you attend a conference if it were on your continent? Another continent? Sébastien ___ ARTIQ mailing list https://ssl.serverraum.org/lists/listinfo/artiq
