The 27th International Conference on Atomic Physics (ICAP 2022) was held from 17 to 22 July 2022 at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto (Canada). 5 DAALI consortium members attended the conference: Julien Laurat, Jérémy Berroir, Adrien Bouscal, and Alban Urvoy, from the Quantum Networks team at Kastler Brossel Lab (LKB) , and Leticia Tarruell, ICREA professor at ICFO.
On 19th July, Julien Laurat was one of the selected speakers of the Plenary Session V on Quantum Optics. Laurat spoke in his talk entitled “Quantum optics with cold atoms trapped along nanowaveguides” about the efforts which are being carried out in the research field of neutral-atom waveguide-QED and focusing specifically on the LKB group’s work using nanofiber trapped atoms.
Two days after, on the 21st of July, Leticia Tarruell offered the invited talk entitled “Engineering a topological gauge theory in an optically dressed Bose-Einstein condensate” on the Plenary Session XIII on Quantum simulation of gauge theories. Tarruell presented in this talk the use of cold atoms to realize gauge theories in the laboratory, which are key models that describe the fundamental forces of Nature and the behaviour of complex quantum materials. Meanwhile, Jérémy Berroir and Adrien Bouscal presented their waveguide-QED works based on nanofiber and photonic-crystal waveguides in the poster sessions of the conference.
The scientific program of the ICAP 2022 included the main developments in the field of atomic physics in the last four years. The meeting was originally scheduled for 2020, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, it was postponed until 2022. There were scheduled a total of 33 invited talks, a selection of 8 hot topic presentations with relevant advances, and four poster sessions.
