4th- 8th September 2017, EPFL, Lausanne

The study of light-matter interaction forms a core area of research in atomic, molecular and optical physics with applications in various interdisciplinary fields like quantum biology and, very recently, even in quantum neural networks.

The understanding of the fundamental light-matter interaction via photons, atoms and ions has opened realms of interesting quantum phenomena like macroscopic entanglement, criticality, quantum phase transitions etc. in diverse physical systems ranging from optical cavities and superconducting qubits to plasmonics.

In view of the recent progress in the field of light-matter interaction both in theory and experiments, this school aims to expose master and PhD students to some of the modern facets of light-matter interaction through lectures from leading researchers around the world. In addition, this school aims to bring together students from both theoretical and experimental background, giving them ample time and opportunity to discuss and collaborate.
