Dear All,
We are happy to announce the MAWI Student-led
Meeting on Quantum Technology: from Theory to
Applications, which will be held in
St Andrews, Scotland, on 14-16 July 2025. We
would be grateful if you could advertise this to
people in your group and to anyone who may be
interested.
The meeting is organized by the PhD students of the
MAWI (Matter Wave Interferometers) Doctoral Network.
Experts in the field will give talks on their work as
well as introductory lectures on a wide range of
topics: atom interferometry, atomtronics, quantum
sensors, quantum simulation, quantum control, and
applications of machine learning to physics.
Participants outside the consortium are warmly welcome
as it will offer a platform for young researchers to
present their work and to engage with peers, with
ample space for discussion on perspectives and recent
results from the point of view of early-stage
researchers. Every participant will have the
opportunity to present their research, either through
a contributed talk or a poster.
Best regards,
Renzo Testa and Donatella Cassettari
==============================
MAWI (Matter-Wave Interferometers) is an European
Doctoral Network within the Marie Sklodowska Curie
Action (grant number 101073088 - MAWI). The network is
focusing on ultra-cold atoms, matter waves, quantum
sensing, and Atomtronics, and their application to
quantum technologies. The goal of the MAWI project is
to train young researchers in the emerging fields of
matter-wave interferometry and quantum sensors based
on interferometric schemes. The striking progress in
the manipulation of matter-waves at ultracold
temperatures makes very realistic the possibility that
a new generation of interferometers is implemented
with ultracold atoms within a few years, with
sensitivities and performances such to make them not
only promising, but actually usable both in
fundamental science and in technological applications.
This progress is deeply related to the similarly
remarkable advances in the field of Atomtronics, a new
field at the frontier of matter-wave optics seeking to
realize atomic circuits in which ultracold atoms are
manipulated in versatile optical or magnetic guides.
