Okinawa School in Physics: Coherent Quantum Dynamics

Okinawa School in Physics 2024: Coherent Quantum Dynamics
物理スクールおきなわ:コヒーレント量子ダイナミックス

CQD 2024   24 September -  4 October  Okinawa, Japan

The study of quantum coherent dynamics is currently one of the most active and exciting areas in physics. It holds the promise for the development of new technologies (quantum computing, quantum metrology,...) and, at the same time, has already delivered insights into the foundations of quantum mechanics. Its fast moving pace and new approach has attracted many young researchers and summer schools - at which leading experts share their knowledge and directly interact with the participants - have become an integral part of the community.

The school will consist of lectures delivered by Japanese and international experts on the fundamentals of the area. These will be supplemented by accessible presentations (colloquia) on cutting-edge research problems.  The topics are chosen to be deliberately broad and will give the students a wide perspective on different aspects.  

All participants are expected to present a poster based on their current research.

Accommodation: OIST Seaside House, Onna, Okinawa (twin-share only)
