Objective
The demonstration in 1995 of the possibility to obtain Bose Einstein Condensate of trapped dilute atomic vapours has opened the way to Atom Lasers, i.e sources of coherent beams of atoms. One expects such coherent atomic sources to have a profound impact on the rapidly growing field of Atom Optics and Interferometry, as the invention of the Laser in the early 60's had a profound impact on Photon Optics. Developed in the last decade, Atom Optics has already obtained impressive achievements (inertial and gravitational measurements by atom interferometry, and cold atom atomic clocks)) and many other topics are promising (atom nanolithography and holography). One expects a strong benefit, from using coherent atomic sources, firstly because of the increase in the brilliance, and second because of the coherent character. The goal of this Summer School will to bring together world leader scientists in the field of Bose Einstein Condensates and Atom Lasers on one hand, and on Atom Optics and applications on the other hand, to offer young researchers the apportunity to strengthen their expertise at the intersection of these two fields, which tend to be disconnected. It is indeed likely that the new atom optics is going to emerge as quantum optics emerged after the invention of laser, and the goal of this summer school is to prepare the generation of European scientists who will be the players of this new field.
The originality of this summer school is to have lecturers who are world leaders in the three domains involved: I. Bose Einstein Condensates and atom lasers (therory and experiment);
II. Atom optics and applications;
III. Lasers and quantum optics. It is expected that most of the students already expertise in their field, to learn about the other one, and to attend synthetic presentations on lasers and quantum optics compared to BEC and atom optics
