The participants are expected to arrive on the 1st of June and to leave on the 5th.

The topics for discussion are :

• Optical lattices
• Quantum State Engineering
• Disordered Systems
• Bose and Fermi mixtures
• Low dimensional systems
• Bosonic and fermionic superfluidity
• Systems under rotation
• Few body systems
• Mesoscopic systems
• Quantum phases
• Strongly correlated systems
• Numerical techniques

The Workshop is intended to get together junior researchers (at the level of PhD students, Postdocs and junior research associates) and is aimed to favour discussions and exchanges between scientists coming from different areas of physics : Condensed Matter, Quantum Optics, Atomic and Molecular Physics.

Each session of the Workshop is organized with an "Overview Talk" by a senior scientist expert in the field, providing a general overview of the subject, followed by talks of junior scientists on topics of current research. Although the focus will be mainly on theory, we plan to host some talks on current experiments as well. A poster session will also be organized.

There will be no conference fees and the number of participants will be limited to 100 persons. A large number of lodging grants is available, please apply via the application form on the web page. The entire list of speakers and the scientific programme will be made available in a forthcoming second announcement.

The registration is open and applications can be done at
