Mesoscopic Physics of Ultracold Atoms
Recent advances in the experimental techniques of cooling,
trapping as well as processing of dilute atomic gases lead to
pioneering developments with respect to the coherent
manipulation of ultracold matter. External fields allow
nowadays to control the internal, motional as well as
collective degrees of atoms leading to a large variety of
possibilities to design new quantum states of atomic
ensembles. Among others, the promising fields of atom
optics and quantum information processing for atomic
ensembles have emerged requiring concepts from atomic up to
condensed matter physics. A toolbox of mesoscopic devices
acting coherently on the quantum scale, such as optical
lattices and atom chips, have been invented. The symposium
brings together experts in 'quantum engineering' of
ultracold coherent matter. Both experimentalists as well as
theorists are invited equally.
