Dear all,

return from Les Houches where the students have worked and net-worked a lot. We had 55 hours of lectures, a number of beautiful posters, many discussions, and a bit of snow. I have to recognize that the snowman was the most impressive I have ever seen, but I wanted to share the "cold ion trap", which has for sure some asymmetries, but fitted well the subject.

Thanks in particular to the lecturers, the next Les Houches School is scheduled for January 2021 !
