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

INT-9722745爱德华兹这个关于“量子光学中的热点问题”的美国-波兰联合研讨会将于1997年6月17日至24日在波兰贾佐维耶克举行，由南乔治亚大学的马克·爱德华兹博士和波兰科学院理论物理研究所的Kazimierz Rzazewski教授领导。讲习班将包括为期两天的非正式讨论，围绕为期两天的正式介绍。会议气氛将是美国和波兰的初级和高级研究人员都将参与活跃的讨论。这次研讨会的一个新特点将是主要关注囚禁的冷原子的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚(BEC)，这是目前量子光学中的一个热门话题。BEC讨论的主题可能包括：BEC的热力学性质；冷原子散射；原子激光；BEC中的有限温度激发和衰减；以及BEC的最新实验结果。其他专题(以及可能的子专题)包括：原子与强场的相互作用(原子电离和稳定；高次谐波；半周期脉冲)；量子混沌(微波电离；微波谐振器的模；能级统计)；随时间变化的场中的里德堡原子(远红外多光子电离；椭圆里德堡原子的电子捕获；里德堡原子的状态敏感探测)；以及量子控制(波包控制；斯塔克波包的散射；束束态干涉术)。这次研讨会应该会导致美国和波兰研究人员在量子光学领域进行许多新的合作研究。它实现了将美国和波兰的顶尖专家聚集在一起，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在共同利益和能力强的领域将互补的努力和能力结合在一起的计划目标。*？？

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. *** ??
