The interaction between photons and atoms is the basis for a wide range of applications such as quantum memories for light and nonlinear optics at the single-photon level. Despite many spectacular demonstrations of atom-light interactions, current interfaces still face major limitations.
From October 12-14, 2022, the DAALI team is offering a workshop aimed at gathering experts in atomic physics, quantum optics and photonics, both theoretical and experimental, to discuss the current status and progress of the field and delve into novel approaches, techniques and methods to understand, observe and be able to control and manipulate atom-photon interactions.
The workshop will be held close to ICFO at the Gran Hotel Rey Don Jaime in Castelldefels.
