Speakers

The invited speakers of the YAO 2015 conference are:

Tilman Esslinger (host, Monday), Quantum Optics Group, ETH Zürich, Switzerland: experimental simulations of quantum science with ultracold atoms in optical lattices, cavities and mesoscopic physics in low dimensions;
Selim Jochim (Tuesday), external page Ultracold Gases Group, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität and Max-Planck-Institut Heidelberg, Germany: experimental research with ultracold atoms in interacting few-fermion systems, crossover between few and many-body physics in quasi one-dimensional Fermi systems;
Eugene Demler (Wednesday), external page Condensed Matter Theory Group, Harvard University, Cambridge MA, United States:  condensed matter theory, properties of high temperature superconductors, heavy fermions, quantum magnets, integer and fractional quantum Hall systems;
Rainer Blatt (Thursday), external page Quantum Optics and Spectrocopy Group, Universität Innsbruck, Austria: quantum computation and simulation with trapped ions, experimental investigation of fundamental aspects of entanglement and its application to quantum information;
Jean Dalibard (Friday), external page Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, École Normale Supérieure and Collège de France, Paris, France: theoretical and experimental research on two-dimensional gases, artificial gauge fields and topological properties of matter.
