U.S.-Japan Seminar: Quantum Electronic Devices and States of Matter/August 1994, NAPA, CA

小行星9315333 该奖项支持12名美国科学家参加美国-日本量子电子器件和物质状态讨论会，定于1994年8月在加州纳帕举行。 协办机构为斯坦福大学物理系朱棣文教授及京都大学物理系矢崎勉教授。 除美国和日本的与会者外，法国和德国的科学家也将出席会议。 原子、分子和光学（AMO）物理学的研究进展继续快速发展。 特别是，新开发的技术来控制和操纵粒子，如原子，离子和微米尺寸的粒子引起了AMO社区和超越的兴奋。 这些发展使得能够设计和建造一系列具有前所未有的灵敏度的全新仪器。 与此同时，这些方法正被用于研究物质与光之间的基本相互作用，创造新的物质状态，如离子晶体，以及更好地了解物理世界的量子本质。 会议的主题是基于对光/物质相互作用的新理解和新AMO技术在创造新物质状态中的应用，开发新的量子电子器件。 研讨会将强调基础研究与创造新设备和科学仪器之间的相互作用。 ***

9315333 Chu This award supports the participation of 12 U.S. scientists in a U.S.-Japan Seminar on Quantum Electronic Devices and States of Matter, scheduled for August 1994 in Napa, California. The co-organizers are Professor Steven Chu, Department of Physics, Stanford University, and Professor Tsutomu Yabuzaki, Department of Physics, Kyoto University. In addition to participants from the United States and Japan, scientists from France and Germany will attend the meeting. Research developments in atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics continues to develop at a rapid pace. In particular, newly developed techniques to control and manipulate particles such as atoms, ions, and micron sized particles have caused much excitement both in the AMO community and beyond. These developments are enabling the design and construction of a host of fundamentally new instruments capable of unprecedented sensitivity. At the same time, the methods are being used to study fundamental interactions between matter and light, the creation of new states of matter such as ionic crystals, and better insights into the quantum nature of the physical world. The theme of the meeting is the development of new quantum electronic devices based on new understanding of light/matter interactions and the application of new AMO techniques to the creation of new states of matter. The seminar will emphasize the interplay between basic research and the creation of new devices and scientific instruments. ***
