Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Cold atom physics was the subject of the 1997 and the 2001 Nobel prizes. It is one of the fastest moving and most rapidly expanding fields in physics and has greatly enhanced our ability to gain complete control of the motion and quantum states of individual atoms.We are seeking funds that will support the UK cold-atom community through fostering stronger links with European colleagues. Exchange visits, conferences and summer schools will allow us for the next three years to discuss at the highest level the technical and scientific aspects of cold atom physics; this will help ensure that any new ideas or techniques from outside the UK are quickly and effectively absorbed by our community. Post graduate research students will benefit enormously from gaining access to a broader and deeper training than is possible through individual research groups.Within the UK we wish to form a link between the cold atom physics community and the condensed matter community. The first step in this direction is to hold a meeting to bring these two communities together.
