Les Houches School of PhysicsSince 1951

This school will gather early graduate students to provide training on ultracold atomic and molecular gases. After a series of lecture on general aspects of the field (laser cooling, quantum degenerate gases…), the school will provide a special emphasis on dissipation and the effect of measurement on quantum systems, We will highlight limits caused by dissipation, mitigation techniques, and methods to harness dissipation as a useful resource.
