The Atomic Physics GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The Atomic Physics GRC has a 50-year history as a cornerstone for building our international community of atomic physicists by bringing together top researchers and future leaders in the field. Themes of this 25th Atomic Physics GRC include quantum sensors, tests of fundamental physics, novel phases of matter, quantum information science, and ultracold chemistry. Connections to particle physics, condensed-matter physics, gravitational physics, and astrophysics will be featured throughout the program.
While we expect that many senior scientists will attend, we also anticipate that, as throughout its history, the Atomic Physics GRC will attract a large number of early career participants. The participation of graduate students and postdocs is especially encouraged, and some financial support for early career researchers will be available. In addition, researchers with family obligations may apply for financial support towards housing and child care
