Participation of a PICQUE fellow to the EuFactor Event
Syed Adil Rab (ESR1) participated with a demonstration stand on quantum optics and information at the event EuFactor, which took place in Rome on 31 May 2016.
EuFactor is a project by the European Commission and European Parlament to encourage young students (16 to19 years old) to undertake studies of science and technology in higher education.

Nicola Montaut (ESR6) Helped in organising the ‘Summer Camp 2016’ in the month of July for high school students to demonstrate optical coupling between laser sources and single mode fibres.
On 30 November 2016, the two PICQUE members Univ. Rome La Sapienza and CNRS participated to the Big Bell Test, a worldwide project that intended to carry out a set of simultaneous quantum physics experiments in 12 different labs around the world. Panagiotis Vergyris (ESR7) took an active part in the experiment at CNRS.
