Joint United States/Poland Workshop on Quantum Optics; Jaszowiec, Poland; June 17-24, 1997

这次关于“量子光学热点话题”的美波联合研讨会将于1997年6月17日至24日在波兰的雅佐维茨举行，由乔治亚南方大学的马克·爱德华兹博士和波兰科学院理论物理研究所的卡齐米兹·雷扎泽夫斯基教授主持。讲习班将包括两天的非正式讨论，围绕两天的正式介绍。会议的气氛将是美国和波兰的初级和高级研究人员都将参加热烈的讨论。本次研讨会的一个新特点将是主要关注被困冷原子的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚（BEC），这是目前量子光学中的一个“热门”话题。BEC的讨论主题可能包括：BEC的热力学性质；冷原子散射;原子激光器；BEC的有限温度激励和阻尼；以及BEC的最新实验结果。其他主题（和可能的子主题）包括：原子与强场的相互作用（原子电离和稳定；高次谐波；半周脉冲）；量子混沌（微波电离；微波谐振器模式；能级统计）；时变场中的Rydberg原子（远红外多光子电离；椭圆Rydberg原子的电子捕获；Rydberg原子的状态敏感探测）；和量子控制（波包控制；斯塔克波包散射；束缚态干涉测量）。这次研讨会将导致美国和波兰研究人员在量子光学方面进行许多新的合作研究。它实现了将美国和波兰的领先专家聚集在一起的计划目标，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在强大的共同利益和能力领域结合互补的努力和能力。* * * ? ?

INT-9722745 Edwards This Joint U.S.-Polish Workshop on "Hot Topics in Quantum Optics" will take place in Jaszowiec, Poland, from 17-24 June 1997 under the leadership of Dr. Mark Edwards of Georgia Southern University and Professor Kazimierz Rzazewski of the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The workshop will consist of two days of informal discussions surrounding two days of formal presentations. The conference atmosphere will be one in which both junior and senior American and Polish researchers will participate in lively discussions. A new feature of this workshop will be a major focus on Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) of trapped, cold atoms, currently a "hot" topic in quantum optics. BEC discussion topics might include: thermodynamic properties of BEC's; cold-atom scattering; the atom laser; finite temperature excitation and damping in BEC's; and recent experimental results in BEC. Other topics (and possible sub-topics) include: interaction of atoms with strong fields (atomic ionization and stabilization; high order harmonics; half-cycle pulses); quantum chaos (microwave ionization; modes of microwave resonators; level statistics); Rydberg atoms in time-dependent fields (far-infrared multiphoton ionization; electron capture by elliptic Rydberg atoms; state-sensitive detection of Rydberg atoms); and quantum control (wavepacket control; scattering from Stark wavepackets; bound-state interferometry). This workshop should result in many new collaborative research efforts in quantum optics between U.S. and Polish researchers. It fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Poland to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit. *** ??
