2011 Quantum Control of Light and Matter Gordon Research Conference, July 31 to August 5, 2011 at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA

2011年的光与物质量子控制戈登研究会议是成立于1999年的系列会议中的第七次。这次会议是为了促进和鼓励被称为量子控制(或相干控制)的物理科学的一个新的、快速发展的子领域。该领域最初致力于相控光场的物理和化学，以控制单分子过程，如气相中的离解和电离。在其间的十年中，这一领域扩大了很多，包括亚飞秒激光物理、超快X射线物理和材料科学、量子信息科学以及化学反应的气体和液体相干控制，特别是超冷分子的光缔合。会议的目的是将所有这些跨学科的主题整合到量子控制的一个总主题中。

The Quantum Control of Light and Matter Gordon Research Conference for 2011 is the seventh in a series, established in 1999. The conference was created to foster and encourage the new and rapidly growing subfield of physical science known as Quantum Control (or Coherent Control). This field was devoted initially to the physics and chemistry of phase-controlled optical fields to control unimolecular processes such as dissociation and ionization in gas phase. In the intervening decade, the field has grown much larger, encompassing quantum coherence aspects in sub-femtosecond laser physics, ultrafast x-ray physics and materials science, quantum information science, as well as gas and liquid phase coherent control of chemical reactions, in particular photoassociation of ultracold molecules. The purpose of the conference is to integrate all these cross disciplinary subjects to a general theme of quantum control.
