03 Dec '12

Dear all In order to make QSIT aware to the public, the NCCR QSIT management produced a movie to be shown on the web, at exhibitions, etc. The film's aim is to stimulate interest in quantum mechanics and to give some insight into the world of the researchers and the network. Here is the link: www.nccr-qsit.ethz.ch or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1JFAxhrBFw&feature=channel&list=UL Have fun and best regards, Ilona --------------------------------------------------- ETH Zurich Dr. Ilona Blatter NCCR QSIT Coordinator Laboratory for Solid State Physics HPF E 17 Schafmattstrasse 16 8093 Zurich ilona.blatter(a)phys.ethz.ch www.nccr-qsit.ethz.ch Phone: +41 44 633 36 06
