ITAMP/B2 Institute Winter Graduate School in AMO Physics to be held January 8-20, 2012 in Tucson, Arizona

该补助金为学生参加原子，分子和光学物理冬季研究生院提供部分支持：超冷和超快原子物理，2012年1月8日至20日。 由ITAMP组织的学校（理论原子、分子和光学物理研究所）和B2（生物圈2号）研究所，旨在加强对当代原子、分子和光学（AMO）科学两个主要研究领域-“走向绝对零度”和“极端光”-的学生培训，这两个领域是“控制量子世界，“2010年NRC十年物理评论中的一卷。 这个首届冬季学校允许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。在促进互动和讨论的环境中，就与“超冷原子和分子物理学”和“超短和超强相干物理学”相关的主题进行了多次讲座，为教师和学生提供了大量的机会在课堂外进行交流，并有可能启动新的合作项目。 会议主要针对研究生，他们代表了AMO物理学实验和理论研究的广泛兴趣，并且来自全国各地的不同背景和计划。

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.
