PROGRAM
Schedule of talks is available here
|
The workshop program will include a number
of invited and contributed talks, as well as poster sessions -- all in
a relaxed informal atmosphere on the sunny Sunshine Coast. You can also
surf, swim, rock climb nearby (20 min drive to the breathtaking
Glasshouse Mountains), and do more PHYSICS in between!!
Scope
The workshop will cover hot topics in
quantum optics and ultracold quantum gases, from both theory and experiment. A particular
focus will be on quantum aspects of matter waves and macroscopic quantum
states, going beyond the methods and predictions of mean-field theory.
This will include advances in analytical and computational methods, the
latest experimental results probing the quantum nature of BECs, and applications
of BEC to quantum information.
The topics include:
-
Quantum optics and atom optics
- Recent theoretical and experimental advances
in Bose-Einstein condensation
-
Degenerate Fermi gases and Fermi-Bose gas
mixtures
-
Stochastic methods and novel computational techniques
-
Bosons and fermions in lattices
-
Atom-molecular BEC
- Atom-light entanglement
- Macroscopic tests of quantum mechanics
Gardiner Symposium
Crispin Gardiner, cofounder of the renowned New Zealand quantum optics school and now Professor at the University of Otago, has made outstanding contributions to quantum and atom optics, including:
- Input-output theory of optical cavities
- Generalised-P representations
- Inhibition of atomic phase decays
- Cascaded quantum systems
- Quantum kinetic theory of condensate growth
