A 4-week programme “Pushing the boundaries of cold atoms” will held in Stockholm, Sweden, from 21 January 2013 to 15 February 2013. It aims to bring together researchers and students working in this field, both theoreticians as well as experimentalists.

The programme focuses on new directions within the field of ultracold atomic gases. Interesting topics include for example:

  • Synthetic gauge fields for cold atoms.
  • Multi-component atoms, spinor condensates.
  • Non-equilibrium physics, quantum thermalization…
  • Exotic states in optical lattices: topological matter, p-band physics…
  • Disorder.
  • Light-matter interface, cold atoms in optical cavities.
  • Dipolar gases.
  • Bistability, non-linearity, optomechanics with cold gases.

As a monthly program, the idea is that participants get the opportunity to get to know each other and establish contacts, and participants are strongly encouraged to stay at least for one week.

The programme is sponsored by Nordita.
