The 19th U.S. Workshop on Superconductor Electronics, Devices, Circuits, and Systems will be held at The White Mountain Hotel & Resort in North Conway, New Hampshire from October 26-30, 2015. The workshop will open with a reception and dinner on Monday, October 26 and end with lunch on Friday, October 30.
Program -- The technical program commences with a plenary talk on Evolving Workloads following dinner on Monday evening. Plenaries on a variety of interesting topics will follow dinner Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, and will be paired with the traditional Hospitality Suite in order to provide an atmosphere which fosters candid and lively discussion. Friendly discourse will also be enabled through panel discussions on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Session topics Tuesday through Thursday will include Digital Electronics and its enablers, Cryogenic Memory, Interfaces, Quantum Computing, including control and readout, and Detectors. Friday morning’s session will comprise high level considerations for the future of the field. Following historical precedent, Wednesday afternoon will be left open for exploration of North Conway and of the White Mountain National Forest which abuts the town to the north and west. The 2015 Workshop agenda and program can be downloaded here (pdf).
North Conway Attractions -- The town of North Conway offers many shops and restaurants, a scenic railroad (Conway Scenic Railroad), nearby covered bridges, and good hiking, with trails accessible directly from the White Mountain Hotel and Resort. For the more adventurous, White Horse Ledge, located immediately behind the hotel, and the adjacent Cathedral Ledge, offer some of the best rock climbing in New England.
Weather -- In late October, North Conway highs are typically in the low 50’s with lows around freezing. If you plan to visit higher elevations, temperatures will be tens of degrees colder. Appropriate clothing is advised.
