Location: Physics Conference Center, Bad Honnef (near Bonn), Germany
Detailed address: Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Hauptstrasse 5, 53604 Bad Honnef, Germany. See the website of the Physikzentrum, which contains information how to get there. Trains take half an hour from the smaller airport Cologne-Bonn and 2.5 hours from Frankfurt airport. Follow the Link to a Google Maps view.
General information
The workshop on "Quantum Optics of Nano and Micromechanical Systems" was funded by the Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Foundation. It featured both invited talks as well as poster sessions covering the broader field of Quantum Optics of Nano- and Micromechanical systems, including (but not limited to) atomic and mechanical approaches to cavity opto-mechanics.
The setting of the venue was Bad Honnef, where the "Physikzentrum" is located in an idyllic mansion close to the river Rhine, near Bonn and Cologne. The mansion has a modern lecture hall and is the Foundations' preferred venue for seminars. It is situated close to Cologne-Bonn airport.
