Theory of Quantum Gases and Quantum Coherence

Location: Centre Blaise Pascal, ENS Lyon, France
June 5, 2012 to June 8, 2012
Workshop of the tutorial

Scientific committee:

• Frederic Chevy, LKB - ENS Paris, France
• Roberta Citro, Università degli Studi di Salerno, Italy
• Anna Minguzzi, Laboratoire de Physique et Modélisation des Milieux Condensés, Grenoble, France
• Edmond Orginac, Ens-Lyon, France
• Alessio Recati, INO-CNR, Bose-Einstein Condensate Center, Trento, Italy
• Tommaso Roscilde, ENS Lyon, France

This workshop was dedicated to the theoretical challenges in the field of quantum gases, with a strong connection to condensed matter physics - including strongly correlated systems, low-dimensional systems, disorder effects etc. One of the main goals of this workshop wass to bring together young researchers coming from Europe and overseas. The program included 5 overview lectures by leading senior scientists in the field of cold atoms and condensed matter, about 20 lectures by junior scientists selected by the advisory committee, and a poster session open to all the participants. A special invited session was organized this year on the subject of Bose-Einstein condensation in condensed matter systems.
