The 22nd International Conference on Atomic Physics will be held in the city of Cairns, in Tropical North Queensland, Australia. Following the tradition of ICAP, the conference will present an outstanding program of invited speakers covering the most recent subjects in the field of atomic physics, such as precision measurement, atomic clocks, quantum information, trapped ions, quantum optics and cavity QED, Bose gases, Fermi gases, optical lattices, cold molecules, mesoscopic quantum systems and ultrafast phenomena. Contributed papers will be presented in active poster sessions.

What is ACQAO?
The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Quantum-Atom Optics (ACQAO) combines pre-eminent Australian theoretical and experimental research groups in quantum and atom optics. Our aim is to create a powerful network to advance the rapidly developing field of Quantum-Atom Optics .
We are exploiting the quantum nature of multiple particle quantum states of atoms and photons, including entangled light and Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC). The Centre focuses on fundamental research, but our long term goal is to underpin and develop the next generation quantum technology.
Quantum-atom optics research at ACQAO comprises six experimental projects directed and supported by a central theory core. For a detailed description of the research activities in the Centre, please click on the project titles in the diagram below.
