Atomic Physics 2017

International Workshop on Atomic Physics
26 November – 1 December 2017

with focus days on "Giant Interactions in Rydberg Systems" GiRyd (DFG Priority Programme 1929)

Focus days: Monday – Thursday

The combination of ultra cold atoms and high resolution laser spectroscopy of Rydberg atoms has enabled the observation of very strong interactions between Rydberg atoms, the so-called Rydberg Blockade. Triggered by this milestone a new research field emerged which is branching out from atomic physics to molecular physics, physical chemistry, many-body physics, quantum information processing, quantum simulation, quantum optics, and semiconductor physics as well as surface physics and sensor applications.

General part: Wednesday – Friday

The general part covers interesting new developments in Atomic Physics, mostly related to ultracold or ultrafast dynamics.
