Organisation during phase 1

(2011 - 2014)

ETH Zurich is the leading house of the NCCR Quantum Science and Technology. The University of Basel acts as co-leading house.The NCCR is managed by the Executive Board and the Scientific Committee.

The Executive Board comprises the director, the vice-director, the co-director, and the coordinator. The Scientific Committee consists of the six section leaders and the members of the Executive Board. Each section (1. Spectroscopy of quantum systems, 2. Entanglement and strong correlation, 3. Hybrid quantum systems) will be headed by two section leaders. Each section includes different projects. The sections have been chosen such that while there is thematic overlap, the foci of the sections are different, which will facilitate the grouping of the projects.

At this point the following persons hold these functions:

Executive Board

Klaus Ensslin (ETHZ), director
Tilman Esslinger (ETHZ), vice director
Richard Warburton (Basel) co-director
Ilona Blatter (ETHZ), coordinator
