April 2020 | News from COST Action CA17113 “Trapped Ions: Progress in classical and quantum applications”

Dear all,

two months at home and we are craving to get back to our trapped friends. We hope that you still benefit from the offer of webconferences and seminars.

In view of the exceptional circumstances, the ECTI conference will NOT take place in July 2020. Alternatives are being discussed and more information is to come soon.

Stay at home!
