Date

QuASI Workshop on Quantum Sensing and Atom-Surface Interaction, Natal, RN, Brazil, 17.-19. August 2015

The workshop is linked to the Workshop on Strongly Coupled Field Theories for Condensed Matter and Quantum Information Theory held in the same location between 17.-21. August 2015

Interested participants please contact us at quasi.workshop@gmail.com

Scope

The topic of the workshop are new quantum technologies for quantum sensing applications.

The achievement of cooperative coupling between optical emitters and light fields is one of the outstanding goals in quantum technology with many potential applications in photonics. This coupling is particularly interesting when the emitters are ultracold atoms with their extraordinary radiative properties, and the light fields are surface plasmons excited in nanofabricated structures. Although cooperative coupling has been achieved with high finesse optical cavities, solutions where cavities are substituted by evanescent waves bound to nanostructured surfaces have recently attracted much attention due to their large bandwidth, robustness and miniaturability. The workshop aims at bringing together leading international experts in theory and experimentation in the areas of metamaterials, nanofabrication, cold atoms, and quantum sensing, and elucidate the potentialities of Quantum sensing and Atom-Surface Interaction from various perspectives.
