17-23/09/2017: The Quantum Optics IX Conference

The Quantum Optics Conference has a long-standing tradition and has been organized in Poland every four years since 1985. One of the main goals of the Conferences is to bring together researchers from various sub-fields of quantum optics and offer a broad overview of current development of this exciting domain.

This year the topics of the conference include:

- ultracold Fermi and Bose gases
- spinor and dipolar gases
- quantum simulators
- topological states of matter
- quantum nonlocality and Bell inequalities
- quantum communication
- precision measurements
- foundations of quantum mechanics
- high precision spectroscopy
- atomic clocks
- quantum thermodynamics

and the confirmed invited speakers are:

- Vanderlei S. Bagnato (University of São Paulo, Brazil)
- Christoph Becher (Saarland University, Germany)
