Introductory Course on Ultracold Quantum Gases
Innsbruck, 09-12 July 2012
including a colloquium of the Innsbruck-Vienna SFB “Foundations and Applications of Quantum Science (FoQuS)”
Organizers:
Francesca Ferlaino and Rudolf Grimm (Univ. Innsbruck and IQOQI)
Secretary: Michaela Palz, sp-physik@uibk.ac.at
Scope of the Course
The short course on 09-12 July 2012 will give a basic introduction into the fascinating research field of cold atoms and ultracold quantum gases, which offers many exciting research opportunities for young researchers. The course is addressed to students early in their master program and does not require any special knowledge on the field besides basic knowledge of quantum physics and atomic, molecular, and optical physics.
Program
Thirteen tutorial lectures given by experts from Innsbruck and Vienna will cover the main topics of the field. The lectures will be augmented by lab visits, social events, and participation at the one-day SFB colloquium on July 12th. The course will start with an informal get-together on July 9th in the evening.
Please find here the preliminary program.
Participants
The course addresses to advanced undergraduate students shortly after their BSc degree, in the early stage of their master program. Basic knowledge of quantum physics and atomic, molecular, and optical physics is assumed. The Innsbruck Physics Research Center will be able to sponsor the participation of about 20 external students, supporting their travel and covering local expenses.
