Thirteen lectures given by experts from Innsbruck, Vienna and Trento (Italy) will cover the basic concepts of laser cooling and trapping, Bose-Einstein condensation, ultracold Fermi gases, ultracold molecules, strongly correlated quantum gases, and optical lattices. In addition, students will be given the opportunity to visit state-of-the-art laboratories at the University of Innsbruck and the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI).

The school will start on the evening of Monday, 10 July with registration and a get-together. The lectures will conclude at midday on 13 July.

In the afternoon of 13 July, participants in the course are invited to attend a colloquium where overviews of current research in the Innsbruck-Vienna SFB will be presented. The program of the intensive course ends with a joint social event in the beautiful Tyrolean mountains (barbecue at Arzler Alm) in the evening of Thursday, 13 July. Students will depart Innsbruck on 14 July and are also welcome to attend the more specialized SFB colloquium talks on the morning of Friday, 14 July.

Tentative Program

In addition to students from the three member universities of the SFB (University o Innsbruck, University of Vienna, and Vienna University of Technology), we invite external students to participate. We will be able to sponsor the participation of about 30 external students, covering travel costs of up to maximum 200 euros per participant as well as accommodation, including breakfast.

Please complete the online form before the application deadline of 8 June 2017. Also, please arrange for a letter of recommendation (which can be just a short e-mail message) to be sent to Ms. Sabine Hofer Brigo at sp-physik@uibk.ac.at by the application deadline. Applications will be notified on their acceptance no later than 12 June 2017.

The school is sponsored by the SFB project "Foundations and Applications of Quantum Science" (FoQus), the Innsbruck Physics Research Center (University of Innsbruck) and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI). The accomodation will be organized by the Research Center. 

The school will take place at the Technik Campus of the University of Innsbruck. This campus is located on the west side of the city, close to the airport.
