Ultracold Atoms Japan 2022
The conference was a great success. Thank you for your participation and contribution.
This conference will be a hybrid conference with both online and on-site attendees. You can only attend on-site, if you are currently located within Japan.
12 - 14 April 2022, Okinawa, Japan
Ultracold atoms have in the past two decades become one of the most active and exciting research areas in physics. Cold atomic systems are low energy, pure and highly configurable and therefore allow to create setups in which new and advanced quantum mechanical effects can be studied and engineered. In fact, cold atomic systems are not only at the forefront for discovering fundamental new physics, they are also at the frontier in the development of advanced quantum technologies, such as quantum simulators or quantum metrology devices. The awarding of the Nobel Prizes in 2012, 2001 and 1997 to work in this area can be seen as a recognition of its groundbreaking potential.
The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts representing leading theoretical and experimental groups working in the area of ultracold atoms. In particular it will focus on the connection between the Japanese and the international community and provide platform for exchange and the creation of sustainable connections.
To facilitate this in the current time dominated by restrictions due to the pandemic, the meeting will have a hybrid format, where a fixed number of on-site participants from Japan will be joined by international speakers and participants via zoom. All remote and local presentations, invited and contributed, will be streamed via zoom. While we would like to have an international on-site participation, this is unfortunately not possible at the moment due to the uncertainty about the re-opening of the Japanese border and the limited number of people who are allowed to arrive in Japan per day.
At Seaside House we will follow all regulations of the new-normal that are imposed and recommended at the time by the Okinawa Prefecture and by OIST. All on-site participants must be fully vaccinated and submit negative PCR test result to us from within 72h before arriving at Seaside House. The number of on-site participants is strictly regulated.
