Location

Hotel Eden Roc, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
The conference will take place in Sant Feliu de Guixols, on the Spanish Costa Brava, 120 km north of Barcelona and 30 km south of Girona. Group transportation will be arranged from/to Barcelona airport, on arrival and departure days.

Final Programme & List of Accepted Participants

This conference belongs to a series of meetings on Bose-Einstein condensation initiated in 1995. It will include invited talks and contributed posters on the recent experimental and theoretical developments in the physics of ultracold quantum gases and their applications, and related areas.

The conference will be based around the following structured topics:

Strongly interacting regimes in quantum gases;
Degenerate fermions;
New theoretical approaches for quantum gases;
Phase coherence properties and atom optics, atom lasers and waveguides;
Strongly correlated atomic systems in optical lattices and in low dimensions;
Quantum information with cold atoms;
Molecular, rapidly rotating and other exotic quantum gases.
