BRAINSTORMING: 13-15 December 2017

The scope of this brainstorming session is to bring together a selected number of colleagues who work in the field of coherent control of matter. The ultimate goal is to merge the knowledge coming from coherent optical control of atoms and molecules to the emerging field of quantum control in solids, correlated materials and topological matter.
