Interrogation and Control of Multiple Degrees of Freedom: From Cold Matter to Solids
The 2025 edition of our summer school series focusses on innovative methods to characterise, interrogate and control quantum systems with multiple and, potentially, strongly coupled degrees of freedom.
Five lecture series will shed new light on the interaction between modern light sources and different brands of material targets, as well as on control strategies which take advantage of the strong coupling between the involved degrees of freedom, and on ways to efficiently describe the salient features of thus induced new states of matter. Continuing our reflections upon the very essence of the science endeavour, a seminar will contemplate the role of scientific expertise in modern societies.
