2011 Atomic Physics Gordon Research Conference, June 26-July 1, 2011 at West Dover, VT

这笔资金将用于支持学生和博士后，以便他们能够参加将于2011年6月26日至7月1日在佛蒙特州西多佛市雪山度假村举行的第20届原子物理学戈登研究会议。本次会议将延续关注学科内新兴研究领域和原子物理及相关领域现有领域的重大进展的传统。该计划和演讲者将根据来自广泛实践的原子物理学家的意见进行选择。本次会议将讨论的领域包括理论和实验发展，重点是在我们展望该领域的未来时带来重大挑战和机遇的领域。2011年，我们的课程包括精密测量、碱土原子、量子模拟和凝聚态连接、量子信息、快速光谱、介观物理、量子光学、偶极气体和玻色/费米气体。会议的非正式性质--没有议事程序或出版物--允许自由交流信息和进行公开讨论，这在其他地点是不可能的。原子物理学戈登会议提供了一个独特的机会，聚集了相关但不同专业的关键数量的领先研究人员，以及大量的学生和年轻研究人员，他们为物理研究前沿最令人兴奋和要求最高的问题带来了新的观点。将努力欢迎不同类型的注册人参加会议。

The funding from this grant will be used to support students and postdocs so they can attend the twentieth in a series of Atomic Physics Gordon Research Conferences to be held at the Mount Snow Resort in West Dover, VT from June 26-July 1, 2011. This meeting will continue the tradition of focusing on emerging areas of research within the discipline and major advances in existing areas of atomic physics and related fields. The program and speakers are to be chosen based on input from a wide range of practicing atomic physicists. The areas to be addressed at this conference include both theoretical and experimental developments, with emphasis on areas that offer significant challenges and opportunities as we look to the future of the field. In 2011, we include sessions on Precision Measurements, Alkali Earth Atoms, Quantum Simulation and Condensed Matter connections, Quantum Information, Fast Spectroscopy, Mesoscopic Physics, Quantum Optics, Dipolar Gases, and Bose/Fermi Gases. The informal nature of the conference, in which no proceedings or publications result, allows for the kind of free exchange of information and open discussion not always possible in other venues. The Atomic Physics Gordon Conference provides a unique opportunity to assemble a critical number of leading researchers in related but differing specializations, along with significant numbers of students and young researchers, who bring new points of view to the most exciting and demanding problems at the forefront of physics research. Effort will be made to welcome a diverse pool of registrants to the conference.
