Program

The program has two types of lectures. Overview invited lectures cover a somewhat broader area or a few related topics (30 minutes), while shorter invited lectures (20 minutes) deal with promising progress in developing and understanding particular topics or techniques related to the scope of the conference. Non-invited (contributed) papers will be presented and discussed only in the poster session. Due to the shortage of time for invited lectures, the scientific committee will also invite several special invited poster contributions, which may be discussed in a related poster session "meeting".

• Serge Haroche (École Normale Supérieure, Paris)
• Pavel Kroupa (University of Bonn)

Participation and Contributions

Participation at the conference is limited by its intended purpose and by the capacity of the local facilities.

All talks are invited by the Scientific Committee. No contributed talks are assumed.

Participants who are not invited as speakers are encouraged to submit one or two poster contributions. The Scientific Committee will decide poster acceptance.

Duration of the invited lectures will be communicated to individual speakers after the participation of most speakers is confirmed. Apart from a talk, every invited speaker can additionally contribute by one poster.
