Dear Colleague,


This is the second announcement of the upcoming workshop Atomtronics@Benasque 2017.
Please find the informations below. The number of participants is limited to about 80.
We encourage all participants to register and book accommodation as soon as possible to take advantage of the early registration fee and the accommodation offers.

We apologize for multiple postings.

Yours Faithfully,

Atomtronics@Benasque |  2017, May 07 -- May 20

Venue:  The Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual 

Following the first edition in 2015, the goal of the workshop is to follow up visions and opportunities in Atomtronics: Atomic quantum matter, like Bose-Einstein condensates, manipulated in electric, magnetic, or optical circuits of very different spatial shapes and intensity. We intend to bring together experimentalists and theorists active in the field. Conceptual and applicative aspects of atomic circuits for diverse exploitations will be covered, both to extend the scope of the existing atom-based quantum devices and to devise platforms for new routes to quantum technology (quantum information, quantum simulation, quantum metrology, etc.) 

Format
The Benasque workshop will offer two-three seminars per day from the invited speakers. Working groups, self-organized and chaired discussions are a part of the Benasque Center working mode and will be encouraged. Offices/desk space will be available for the participants upon request.
A poster session will be also organized. Due to space constraints, the number of participants is limited to about 80.
