Pan American Advanced Studies Institute: Atoms and Molecules in a New Light; Brazil, August 2000

这个由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和美国能源部（DOE）联合支持的泛美高级研究所奖，以“新光中的原子和分子”为主题，旨在汇集来自美洲的高级研究人员和年轻科学家，在高级研究生和研究生水平，学习原子，分子和光学物理学的新思想和发展。预计与会者之间的讨论将有助于在美洲国家的科学家之间建立新的合作，促进21世纪的培训、合作和新的研究计划。拟议的讲座、研讨会和讨论课程建立在原子、分子、量子光学以及在某种程度上以使用已经在拉丁美洲进行研究的大型研究工具为中心的化学界的优势之上。将特别强调Campinas（巴西）和Berkeley（加利福尼亚）的同步加速器光源之间的合作与协作。该研究所将帮助在整个西半球传播对特定优势和设施的认识，以便能够开展互利合作。该研究所将以原子、分子和光学物理四个领域为特色，这些领域在内容上相互关联，在某些情况下，技术上也相互关联。这四个领域将涉及使用同步辐射、激光、电子和离子束的研究，以及基于量子光学效应的研究，特别是使用离子阱的量子计算

9908824BryantThis Pan-American Advanced Study Institute award, jointly supported by the NSF and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), on "Atoms and Molecules in a New Light", proposes to bring together a number of senior researchers and young scientists from the Americas, at the advanced graduate and postgraduate level, to learn of new ideas and developments in atomic, molecular, and optical physics. It is expected that discussions among the participants will help to establish new collaborations between scientists in the countries of the Americas, stimulating training, cooperation and new research initiatives for the 21st century.The proposed course of lectures, seminars and discussions builds on strengths of the atomic, molecular, quantum optical and, to some extent, chemical communities centered around the use of large research tools already doing research in Latin America. In particular, emphasis will be given to cooperation and collaboration between the synchrotron light sources in Campinas (Brazil) and Berkeley (California). The Institute will help spread awareness of particular strengths and facilities throughout the hemisphere, so that mutually beneficial collaborations can be initiated.The institute will feature four areas of atomic, molecular and optical physics, areas that are interrelated in content, and, in some cases, technique as well. The four areas will involve studies using synchrotron radiation, lasers, electron and ion beams, and efforts based on quantum optical effects, in particular quantum computing with ion traps.***
