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

2011年戈登研究会议的光和物质的量子控制是1999年成立的系列会议中的第七次。 该会议旨在促进和鼓励新的和快速发展的物理科学子领域，称为量子控制（或相干控制）。 该领域最初致力于相位控制光场的物理和化学，以控制单分子过程，如气相中的解离和电离。 在此期间的十年中，该领域已经发展得更大，包括亚飞秒激光物理学，超快X射线物理学和材料科学，量子信息科学中的量子相干方面，以及化学反应的气相和液相相干控制，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.
