Matter-wave interferometry has remarkably advanced with systems as diverse as electrons, neutrons, cold atoms, molecules and nanoparticles. The conference Foundations of Matter-Wave Optics (FOMO) unites world experts in the field to review the state-of-art and to discuss new challenges.
Matter-wave interferometers are essential tools in the exploration of the foundations of physics and have been developed into modern quantum sensors with applications in precision measurements, inertial navigation or geodesy. Since its beginning in 2010, Frontiers of Matter Wave Optics (FOMO) has become the most comprehensive bi-annual conference series in the field of matter-wave science. It combines one week of Summer School (12-16.9) with an international conference (19-23.9.). In 2022 both meetings are hosted by the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste/Italy, which is known for scientific excellence combined with international hospitality and scenic beauty. Contributed talks, poster sessions and excursions provide ample opportunity for discussions. An afternoon session on Sept. 22, will also honor the late Helmut Rauch and the beginnings of neutron matter-wave optics, almost 50 years ago.
Topics:
- Foundations of matter wave interferometry
- Matter-wave technologies: electrons, neutrons, atoms, macromolecules, nanoparticles
- Matter-wave sensors: gravimetry and geodesy
- Matter-waves in precision metrology: fundamental constants
- Matter-wave enabled navigation
- Tests of quantum physics at the interface to General Relativity & the Classical World
- Modeling of ultra-cold quantum devices
- Matter-wave science & industry
