Dear all,

this newsletter will slowly change in the next months to become the newsletter of the new COST Action. As we are setting up things (i.e. a website, and an ion trapper database) we need your input and feedback to progress. You will find two items in the text below where your input is required:
     - we launch an open contest to design a logo for this Action    and
     - please fill in the indicated form (one per ion trapper group), so that we can have an up-to-date list           of all groups. This concerns ion trappers world-wide, and not only European groups.

And you can now follow us on Twitter @tipicqa !

Best regards,
Your editorial team



News from the COST Action


Logo contest
A new project clearly needs a new logo. Most of you are very creative, and therefore we are launching an open contest to all ion trappers to design a logo . The only condition: It should have some link to Ion Trapping. Please send your proposals to the Communication Manager of the Action, Irene Marzoli in a standard graphic format (.jpg, .png, .pdf, ...).  Deadline is 1 May 2019. There will be a prize for the winner (or the winning team).

Ion Trapping group directory and photos
In order to have an up-to-date list of ion trapping groups and also some nice photos which we can use on the website, we ask you to fill in the form at this LINK. Please only fill in one form per group. Indicating an email will be an information only shared by us, it will not be visible in clear on the website.

Feedback from the Scientific Kick-off in Granada.
If you would like to see what a nice event you have missed, look at the photos avalaible HERE. Thanks again to Daniel and Rosario for having provided such a beautiful location and a perfect organisation!

News

Hearing the Quantum is a new podcast made for researchers. Each episode features an hour-long discussion with authors of recent papers. We find out not just about their results, but also about the background necessary to understand the work, and how many times the laser broke while taking data.
To listen, search for Hearing the Quantum on your podcast app (Apple Podcasts/Google Podcast/Spotify), or visit https://www.hearingthequantum.com/  or Facebook.
Feedback welcome to  maciejm@phys.ethz.ch
