This grant provides partial support for students to attend the Winter Graduate School on Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics: Ultracold and Ultrafast Atomic Physics, January 8-20, 2012. The school, organized by ITAMP (Institute for Theoretical Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics) and the B2 (Biosphere 2) Institute, seeks to enhance the training of students in two of the major research areas in contemporary atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) sciences -- "Toward absolute zero" and "Extreme light" -- identified in "Controlling the Quantum World," one of the volumes in the 2010 NRC Decadal Physics Review. This inaugural winter school allows students to interact with eminent scientists in a relaxed atmosphere, away from the distractions of everyday life. Multiple lectures are given on subjects associated with "ultracold atomic and molecular physics" and "ultrashort and ultrastrong coherent physics" in an environment that fosters interaction and discussions, with plenty of opportunities for teachers and students to mingle outside the classroom, and the possibility for initiating new collaborative projects. The meeting is aimed primarily at graduate students representing a broad spectrum of interests in experimental and theoretical research in AMO physics and who come from diverse backgrounds and programs across the nation.

这项资助为参加原子、分子和光学物理冬季研究生院：超冷和超快原子物理的学生提供部分支持，2012年1月8日至20日。该学院由ITAMP（理论原子、分子和光学物理研究所）和B2（生物圈2）研究所组织，旨在加强对学生在当代原子、分子和光学（AMO）科学的两个主要研究领域的培训——“走向绝对零度”和“极端光”——在2010年NRC十年物理评论的其中一卷“控制量子世界”中被确定。这个首届冬季学校让学生在轻松的氛围中与杰出的科学家互动，远离日常生活的干扰。在一个促进互动和讨论的环境中，开设了与“超冷原子和分子物理”和“超短和超强相干物理”相关的多个课程，为教师和学生提供了大量课堂外交流的机会，并有可能启动新的合作项目。会议主要面向研究生，他们代表着对AMO物理实验和理论研究的广泛兴趣，来自全国不同的背景和项目。
