Quantum Control of Light and Matter
Coordinators: Misha Ivanov, Navin Khaneja, David Tannor
Scientific Advisors: Gustav Gerber, Steffen Glaser, Hideo Mabuchi
April 20, 2009 - July 17, 2009
Primary consideration deadline for applications has passed (May 31, 2008)
You may still send an application for consideration:https://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/herald/account/login
Conference page: http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/activities/auto/?id=957
Quantum control refers to the application of controlled coherent interactions to direct the dynamics of quantum systems. It is one of the most exciting frontiers in atomic, molecular and optical physics, spanning physics, chemistry and applied mathematics. There are at least five or six subcommunities within quantum control that work on different physical systems and use different languages: the chemical reaction dynamics community, the attosecond community, the NMR community, the quantum optics community, the quantum information community, and the mathematically oriented quantum control theorists.
The conference will bring together leading theorists and experimentalists in each of these subcommunities. In addition to the usual lecture format, an important part of the conference will be panel discussions with two specific goals in mind:
1. to close the gap between theory and experiment and
2. to explore the transferability of concepts and methods from one subcommunity to another.

The Tufts Institute of Cosmology is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. As part of this celebration, it is organizing a four day conference entitled, "CHALLENGES IN THEORETICAL COSMOLOGY". The intent is to bring together the leading researchers in theoretical cosmology to discuss some of the most pressing open issues in the field today. Topics include:
*
COSMIC STRINGS
*
ETERNAL INFLATION
*
THE LANDSCAPE
The conference will take place at the Tufts European Center at Talloires (France) between September 2nd and September 5th, (2009). The format will include 30 invited speakers and a total of about 90 attendees, some of whom will give contributed talks. The Tufts European Center at Talloires is a magnificent venue. It is located on the shores of Lake Annecy at the foot of the French Alps and offers a perfect atmosphere that, we hope, will make this conference not only a successful and enjoyable meeting but a memorable one as well.

The Eleventh Frontiers of Fundamental Physics Symposium
FFP11 will be in Paris, France July 6th through 9th, 2010, and it promises to be a memorable event.
The Symposium develops around five themes:
* 1. Big Bang Cosmology / Dark Energy
* 2. Dark Matter/Astroparticles
* 3. Particle physics and Fundamental Interactions
* 4. From Entanglement to Quantum Information and Quantum Gas
* 5. Epistemology, History of Physics
Several of Modern Physics' great thinkers will be presenting, including several FQXi members. The roster includes Paul Steinhardt, Joseph Silk, Anton Zeilinger, Gerard 't Hooft, and Roger Penrose.
Details can be found at the FFP11 web-site - ffp.gie.im.
I am planning to be there as well, because this is one event not to be missed. I was at FFP10, and that was wonderful. I hope to see some of you, in Paris for FFP11.
All the Best,
Jonathan

Is Science Compatible With Our Desire for Freedom? -- Experts Meeting hosted by the Social Trends Institute in Barcelona, Spain, May 13-15, 2010.
When faced with a conflict between human freedom and a deterministic neuroscience, two rational positions are possible: either human freedom is an illusion, or deterministic neuroscience is not the last word about the brain and will eventually be superseded by a neuroscience admitting processes not completely determined by the past. Accordingly, this Experts Meeting aims to investigate whether it is possible to have a science in which there is room for human freedom, and in particular whether today's quantum physics might offer an appropriate framework for this purpose.
