FOMO-2014 (Frontiers on Matter Wave Optics 2014)
Registration Open
----------------------------------------------------------------

The deBroglie waves evolved from textbook experiments on the foundations of quantum mechanics to a new kind of optics based on matter waves. Today, this field extends from experiments about the wave-particle dualism and decoherence, over coherent optics, non-linear optics, quantum atom optics and optics in periodic media to precision measurements.

Tailoring waves of all kind of matter and generation of complex matter-waves promises to perpetuate the fascination of this field over the next decade.

--------------------------------------
Scope of the summer school:
--------------------------------------
The summer school aims at providing a strong background in matter-wave physics to those starting in the field, be it PhD students or early stage post-docs. The school will consist of a series of in-depth lectures by leading theorists and experimentalists in the field.

--------------------------------
Location:
--------------------------------
The summer school will be on the island of Crete in Greece in the mountains close to Heraklion.
