2023 Atomic Physics Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar
Abstract
The 25th Atomic Physics Gordon Research Conference (GRC) will be held at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island from June 11 to June 16, 2023. We expect close to 200 participants, the majority of whom will be early career researchers (students, post-docs, and assistant professors). This meeting will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Atomic Physics GRC and will continue the tradition of focusing on emerging areas of research within our discipline and major advances in atomic, molecular, and optical physics and related fields. The areas to be addressed at this conference include both theoretical and experimental developments, with emphasis on areas that offer significant challenges and opportunities as we look to the future of our field. The 2023 conference session themes include: (1) Frontiers of AMO physics: the next 50 years, (2) Entangled systems and quantum computing, (3) Probes of gravity, (4) Tests of fundamental physics, (5) Clocks and the nature of time, (6) Quantum sensors and metrology, (7) Cold chemistry and molecules, (8) Novel phases and properties of ultracold matter, and (9) Quantum and nonlinear optics. The research-focused nature of the Gordon Conference offers a unique opportunity for all participants to exchange ideas and start new projects and collaborations, in particular involving researchers from different subfields. The subjects of the Atomic Physics GRC and GRS presentations, poster sessions, and discussions align with many ARO research objectives, such as Quantum Information Science (QIS), Quantum Sensing, Imaging, and Metrology (QSIM), Quantum Computation and Quantum Networking (QCON), and, of course, Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMP). The scientific exchange and discussions at the Atomic Physics GRC and GRS will spur innovation in these directions, and train future leaders in these research areas. For the third time, we will also organize the Gordon Research Seminar on June 10 - 11, 2023, just before the start of the conference. The entire GRS program, including oral and poster sessions, is presented by students and post-docs. We envision that the GRS experience will help young investigators to establish professional networks among their peers and acquire a stronger foundation as well as a broader perspective of cutting-edge atomic physics research, which will be highly beneficial to their future careers. We are requesting support for the conference expenses of attendees of the 2023 Gordon Research Conference and Seminar on Atomic Physics, in part to encourage the participation of researchers funded by ARO. The Gordon Conference on Atomic Physics has a 50-year tradition of communicating and stimulating the most exciting new research in atomic, molecular, and optical physics. The Atomic Physics Gordon Conference has a significant connection to current priorities of the U.S. Army Research Office programs in atomic and molecular physics and in related areas such as quantum computation and networking, quantum sensing and metrology, and quantum optics.
