Following the success of the CECAM online Workshop Quantum Battles in Attoscience in 2020, with over 300 participants from 35 countries, it is a pleasure to announce that the 2023 edition of our workshop "Quantum Battles in Attoscience" will take place from June 28 to June 30, 2023, onsite, at the University College London. While we hope that as many people as possible will make the trip to join us, in person, we will stream several of the workshop sessions live on our YouTube channel, in line with our vision of keeping science free and open to the international community.
The conference will include traditional talks (invited and contributed) and poster sessions, but will again centre on three ‘battles’. The topics have been chosen and will be:
The workshop will also include a panel discussion on sustainable scientific software development, sponsored by the PARAMOR project.
Please note: The company Traveller Point, from Brussels, is not involved in the organization. If you receive any email from ops@travellerpoint.org please ignore it and report/block the sender. Several of our invited speakers have received emails from this company and this is a scam.

Vision & AimsAttosecond science has emerged from the study of the interaction of matter with intense laser fields, and it is the natural successor of femtochemistry. Its main objective is to resolve and ultimately control electron dynamics in real time. Electrons play a key role in photosynthesis, destroy or modify molecules, and can be used for information processing in human-made devices. This wide range of applications and huge potential for attosecond imaging of matter has made it a hugely popular and expanding area. Unfortunately, this rapid growth has led to a vast, fragmented methodological landscape, with many conflicting views.
The present workshop is focused on the quantum aspects of attoscience. It aims at exploring areas of tension in a collegial and controlled way and at providing a debating platform for early career researchers and leaders in the field. |

Sample questions & areas of tension
|
How Quantum is Atto?Are we addressing decoherence, entanglement and non-classicality? What overlaps are there with quantum technologies?
Attoscience of SolidsWhat can we learn from solids that has not been done already for other targets? Is there a consensus on strong-field phenomena in solids, and the techniques used to probe/model them?
|
Chirality, Symmetry and Tailored fieldsWhat are the recent breakthroughs in tailored fields? What are the technological limitations for pulse generation & characterisation and for sensing?
Sustainable scientific software developmentIs science or software king in attoscience? What incentives are there to make scientific software FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reproducible)?
...and other topics!
