Workshop on
Aspects of Large Quantum Systems Related
to Bose-Einstein Condensation
Thursday April 15 - Saturday April 17, 2004
Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Aarhus
Auditorium G1, Building 532
Organizers:
Arne Jensen (Scientific
Director, MaPhySto,
Aalborg University)
Horia Cornean (MaPhySto,
Aalborg University)
Erik Skibsted (MaPhySto,
University of Aarhus)
Klaus Mølmer (Department of
Physics and Astronomy, University of Aarhus)

Abstract:
The purpose of the workshop was to present results on, and to
discuss, aspects of large quantum
systems related to Bose-Einstein condensation.
The aim was to consider three themes
Existence of BEC
Dimensionality
Dynamics and cooling
from three points of view
Mathematical
Theoretical
Experimental
The workshop gathered participants covering all three points of
view, with
the hope of furthering interaction between the participants, and
a fruitful
exchange of ideas and possible directions of future research.
