Announcement: 2026 Les Houches school on Cold Atoms and Ions
We are pleased to announce the 2026 Les Houches school on Cold Atoms and Ions, on the topic of Measurement and Dissipation in cold atomic systems. The school will take place from October 26 to November 6, 2026.
Please register here: https://cold-atoms-2026.leshouches.science/
This school will gather early graduate students to provide training on ultracold atomic systems. After a series of lectures on general aspects of the field (laser cooling, quantum degenerate gases, cold ions…), it will provide a special emphasis on dissipation and the effect of measurement on quantum systems. Fundamental aspects of open quantum systems will be discussed. In the context of quantum technologies, limits caused by dissipation, mitigation techniques, and methods to harness dissipation as a resource will be highlighted.
