Dear colleague,
The Centre for Physics in Les Houches will be hosting from Tuesday 15th to Friday 25th of April, 2003 a school on
"Quantum Gases in Low Dimensions".
This school is especially
dedicated to the training of young scientists (graduate students or post-docs).
During the session, six internationally recognized scientists will provide
a deep theoretical insight into the Low Dimensional Atomic Physics field.
The lecturers will come from different branches of physics, including
low-temperature physics, many-body physics, condensed matter, quantum optics
and atomic physics: the meeting is thought to be a truly interdisciplinary event.
A series of seminars will provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical results.
The participants will have the opportunity to present their results during the two poster sessions.
Informal discussions between participants will be encouraged
(every afternoon is free of lectures and seminars).
The limited number of participants (about 70) will ensure the informal character of the session.
Scientific committee
The scientific committee of the school comprises:
|
Claude Cohen-Tannoudji
|
|
Marvin D. Girardeau
|
|
Theodor W. Hänsch
|
|
William D. Phillips
|
|
Henk T. C. Stoof
|
Main lectures
All of the lecturers are internationally recognized scientists and are known for their high pedagogical qualities.
They will give a course consisting of 3 to 5 sessions of 90 minutes each. The courses
are complementary and have been thought to span all the subjects concerning Quantum Gases in Low Dimensions:
|
Yvan Castin (LKB, ENS Paris): Stochastic field methods for interacting Bose gases
|
|
Ignacio Cirac (Max Planck Institute, Garching): Optical lattices, rotating 2D Bose gases, quantum information
|
|
Benoît Douçot (LPTHE, Université Paris 6): Condensed matter physics in two dimensions : from bosons to anyons
|
|
Maxim Olshanii (USC, Los Angeles): Various properties of the 1D Bose gas
|
|
G. Shlyapnikov (AMOLF institute, Amsterdam): Correlation properties of low dimensionnal quantum gases
|
|
Sandro Stringari (Università di Trento): Phase fluctuation in 1D and 2D trapped Bose gases
|
Advanced research seminars
Besides these theoretical lectures, the major experimental advances in the field will be covered by
seminars (approximately one per day). A partial list of the speakers is given below and will be completed on the website of the school:
|
M. Girardeau (University of Arizona, USA)
|
|
P. Grangier (IOTA, Orsay, France)
|
|
R. Grimm (Universität Innsbruck, Austria)
|
|
E. A. Hinds (SCOAP, Brighton, UK)
|
|
S. Jaakkola (University of Turnu, Finland)
|
|
V. Lorent (Université Paris 13, France)
|
|
J. Reichel (Universität München and Max Planck Institut)
|
|
C. Salomon (LKB, Paris, France)
|
|
C. Zimmermann (Universität Tübingen)
|
Fees and application deadline
There will be no registration fees; a fee of 800 ¬ will be charged for accommodation. However, a number of grants will be available for
participants and most of the young scientists should be supported for a large part of the fees. Applications should be submitted via the
form on our web page before the
deadline February 1st, 2003.
To keep the informal character of this school and due to the place limitations in the conference room, the number of students is limited to 50.
