Strongly Interacting Quantum Gases
April 18-21, 2005
Ohio Center for Theoretical Science (OCTS)
at The Ohio State University
Columbus, Ohio
Click here for a list of currently registered attendees.
This workshop will focus on strongly-interacting quantum gases, in particular the exciting recent developments in Fermi gases and molecular condensates. The workshop will cover both many-body aspects and few-body aspects of strongly-interacting atoms.
The schedule for the conference is below. All speakers will speak from the OCTS at The Ohio State University except Deborah Jin, Stefano Giorgini, Sarah Thompson and Leo Radzihovsky, who will be speaking from JILA at The University of Colorado.

End of Workshop
This workshop is the third in a series of workshops offered by the OCTS. A unique feature of these workshops is that they are broadcast on an interactive network using Access Grid technology.
If you have an Access Grid facility at or near your institution, you can see all of the workshop talks, be a full participant in all discussions, and even present a talk remotely. We strongly encourage this form of participation and will be happy to assist with practical arrangements.
There is no registration fee for remote participants, and no limit on the number of remote participants. There are currently over 200 access grid installations, and you can check to see if there is one near you. There are currently remote sites established at JILA, The University of Colorado; The University of Linz, Austria (Node Operator:Martin Polak); The University of Queensland, Australia (Node Operator:Douglas Kosovic); The University of Maryland (Node Operator: Joe D. Barron);
Rice University (Node Operator: Hubert Daugherty); and The Center for Scientific Computing in Espoo, Finland (Node Operator:Harri Salminen). Participation may be possible at these sites, as well. If you would like to participate via a remote site, please contact the Node Operator listed for that site to determine availability and make arrangements. Anyone interested in participating over the Access Grid should contact Kendra Davitt at davitt.1@osu.edu.
The workshop will be held in the Robert Smith Seminar Room. This facility in the newly constructed Physics Research Building can accommodate a maximum of 90 local participants; therefore, participation via the Access Grid is encouraged.
Those who are interested in attending the workshop should fill out the application form. The registration fee is $200 prior to April 1, 2005. After April 1, 2004 the registration fee will increase to $250. Lodging information can be found in Local Information. The preferred conference hotel is The Blackwell Inn, conveniently located on The Ohio State campus.
For information on the scientific program for the workshop, please contact Jason Ho at Ho@mps.ohio-state.edu (614.292.2046) or Eric Braaten at Braaten@mps.ohio-state.edu (614.688.4228). For questions on all practical or administrative matters, please contact OCTS at octs@osu.edu (614.292.2368).
