Atomic Physics (GRS)

Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar

Hybrid Atomic Systems in the Quantum Regime

June 10 - 11, 2017
Chair Boris Braverman
Salve Regina University
100 Ochre Point Avenue
Newport, RI, United States
 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Atomic Physics is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with a similar level of experience and education to present, exchange, and discuss new data and cutting edge ideas. This is the inaugural GRS on Atomic Physics, and any suggestions or questions are highly encouraged.

The focus of this meeting is on recent advances in the creation and manipulation of strongly interacting hybrid quantum systems, with control and measurement at the level of single atoms and quanta. Sessions themes include ultracold atoms with strong interactions, strong coupling of atoms coupling and photons, Rydberg atoms, and quantum control of atomic motion.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Atomic Physics" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
