How to journalclub?

Pick three recent papers from the arXiv (cond-mat or quant-ph), PRLPRBPRAPRXPRX QuantumPhys. Rev. ResearchQuantumEPLNatureNature Phys, Nat. Commun., or Science (no review articles).

Preferably, the paper should not be older than three weeks when presented, or from the current issue in case of a monthly journal. Exception can be made in special cases.

The paper has to be of a theory flavour. If in an exceptional case an experimental work is presented, then the theoretical background must be thoroughly explained.

Send these papers until Tuesday the week before to GuidoWolfgangOded and David, and indicate your preferences.

Prepare a talk of 20-30 minutes. Including questions from the audience, the total duration of the presentation should not exceed 30 minutes.

Pay special attention to a proper introduction and motivation of the underlying concepts. Half of the talk should cover the basics (at least 10 min). To help others understand your slides, try to put a short summary at the end of each slide which answers the question "What is the main takeaway from this slide?". In general, focus on the most important results. It might not be necessary to show every single figure from the paper.

Announce the paper you will be presenting by writing to the mailing list on Friday.

Upload the slides of your talk to the university cloud.

Please bring a Meeting Owl to your talk.
