Official Information:

The purpose of this seminar is to bring together scientists from the fields of coherent control and ultracold gases, from both experiment and theory, in order to explore the possibilities of combining the ultrafast and the ultracold, i.e. of applying the concept of femtosecond pulse shaping to the manipulation of ultracold molecules. The discussion will review on-going work and identify future challenges, and topics include:

* Coherent control of photoassociation
* Creation of ultracold trimers, tetramers, clusters
* Exploration of ultracold reactivity and ultracold chemical reactions
* Chemical reactions under conditions of quantum degeneracy
* Novel methods of laser cooling of molecules
