Physique Mésoscopique des Ondes                   pour Imagerie en Milieux Complexes

The International workshop Lyon BEC 2012 "Theory of quantum gases and quantum coherence" will take place June 5-8, 2012 at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France.

Organizers :
 T. Roscilde (Lyon, F)
 E. Orignac (Lyon, F)
 A. Minguzzi (Grenoble, F)
 F. Chevy (Paris, F)
 R. Citro (Salerno, I)
 A. Recati (Trento, I)

The workshop is dedicated to theoretical challenges in the field of cold quantum gases, with a strong connection to condensed matter, and it is specially targeted at a junior audience. The present one is its 6th edition, after Levico (2001), Salerno (2003), Cortona (2005), Grenoble (2008), and Nice (2010).

The workshop topics will include :
 ultracold fermions
 low-dimensional gases
 disordered cold gases
 atom interferometry and quantum metrology
 quantum simulations
 Bose-Einstein condensation in condensed matter
 and more...

The participation to the workshop is free of charge, and it is limited to about 80 participants. Lodging and meals will be covered by the organization.
