Kavli Delft's 10th anniversary

On Thursday September 11th 2014, the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience of Delft University of Technology celebrated its tenth anniversary in Brussels, Belgium. The day started with an interesting lecture by Professor George Whitesides of the Harvard Kavli Institute in the Atomium. After lunch, the participants went for a guided tour through the city center of Brussels. Then the group was divided over several activities: some participants spent the rest of the afternoon making chocolate pralines, while others went scuba diving or visited a brewery, the Cartoon Museum, or the European Parliament.

Kavli Publication Prize

Around dinner time, the group convened again at a restaurant where the Kavli Delft Director, Professor Cees Dekker, awarded the biennial Kavli publication prize to Diego Ristè,¹ Marcin Dukalski,¹ Chris Watson,² Gijs de Lange,¹ Marijn Tiggelman,¹ Yaroslav Blanter,¹ Konrad Lehnert,³ Raymond Schouten,¹ and Leo DiCarlo¹ for their article: 'Deterministic entanglement of superconducting qubits by parity measurement and feedback'.
