Workshop on "AMO Theory: Recent Developments and a Vision for the Future," to be held August 18-19, 2011

2011年8月18日至19日，在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的国家科学基金会将举行为期1.5天的密集研讨会。目标是：1。汇集原子、分子和光学物理学领域的主要研究人员，评估该领域理论研究的现状，并制定未来十年理论原子、分子和光学物理学（TAMOP）的愿景。调查TAMOP目前的组织和资助情况，包括个人调查员、调查小组、中心和研究所以及机构类型之间的平衡，并为下一个十年提出一般指导方针。研讨会的智力优势在于讨论原子、分子和光学（AMO）物理和量子信息科学前沿研究领域的最新进展，包括：原子和分子结构与碰撞；强场和超快过程；冷原子和简并气体，包括冷碰撞；量子光学和量子信息。讲习班的更广泛影响将是它对AMO物理学未来的预期影响。一个重要的教育影响将是使各个分领域的研究人员了解该领域的总体状况，从而支持杂交施肥。

An intensive 1.5 day workshop will be held at the National Science Foundation in Arlington (Virginia) August 18-19, 2011. The objectives are:I. To bring together leading researchers in atomic, molecular and optical physics to assess the state of theoretical research in the field and to formulate a vision for theoretical atomic, molecular, and optical physics (TAMOP) for the next decade.II. To survey the current organizational and funding landscape in TAMOP, including the balance between individual investigators, groups of investigators, centers and institutes, and types of institutions, and to suggest general guidelines for the next decade.The intellectual merit of the workshop lies in the discussion of the state-of-the-art in frontier research areas of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics and quantum information science, including: atomic and molecular structure and collisions; strong-field and ultrafast processes; cold atoms and degenerate gases, including cold collisions; quantum optics and quantum information.The broader impact of the workshop will be its anticipated impact on the future of AMO physics. An important educational impact will be to inform researchers in the various subareas about the overall state of the field and hence support cross fertilization.
