Hi Tobias,
Yes exactly, I came down to visit Barcelona with a girlfriend around Xmas and since we were staying in a hotel in Castelldelfels we drove by ICFO to check it out. As I say it looked like a nice place.
What sort of work is your group doing there ? I'm working at the BIPM in Sevres, near Paris, on a superconducting Watt Balance machine for measuring Planck's constant h and also for the planned redefinition of the SI kilogram standard in 2015. I am particularly interested in applying quanutm information ideas in precision measurement applications-- hence my interest in graphene also.
-Cheers,
Mike Bradley
