CQD 2014: Okinawa School in Physics: Coherent Quantum Dynamics

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.  This will be supplemented by accessible presentations (colloquia) on cutting-edge research problems.  Additionally, we will organise problem solving sessions, which are partly tutorial style and partly open-ended. All participants will be required to present a poster based on their current research. This broad approach will allow us to be comprehensive while at the same time we will have the freedom to pick specific topics that are 'hot' at the time the school is held.
