International School

Tutzing, April 1-4, 2025

The Collaborative Research Center Open System Control of Atomic and Photonic Matter (OSCAR) explores the physics of open quantum many-body systems across different experimental platforms. Apart from basic research in this field the integrated young reseacher training program i-OSCAR guarantees education of the highest quality standards for the involved doctoral students and early postdocs. As a particular educational measure our SFB organizes an International School on Open Quantum Many-Body Systems, which takes place in the Evangelische Akademie in Tutzing (Germany), in the period April 1-4, 2025. The lectures focus on three research areas, which are of central importance of OSCAR and will be discussed from both the experimental and the theoretical point of view:

1) Rydberg Systems:

a) Shannon Whitlock (Straßbourg, France):

Fundamentals of ultracold Rydberg atoms 

Quantum computing with atoms and light

b) Hans-Peter Büchler (Stuttgart, Germany):

Rydberg atoms in optical tweezers for quantum simulation and quantum computation

2) Quantum Fluids of Light:

a) Maciej Pieczarka (Wroclaw, Poland):

Polariton and photon Bose-Einstein condensation in semiconductor microcavities

b) Jean-Jacques Greffet (Paris, France):

Photon Bose-Einstein condensation and lasing in semiconductor cavities

3) Quantum Droplets:

a) Sebastian Will (New York, USA):

Creating a Bose-Einstein condensate of dipolar molecules and Exploring novel quantum phases with strongly dipolar molecules

b) Antun Balaz (Belgrade, Serbia):

Theory of quantum droplets in ultracold atomic and molecular gases
