The slides and videos of the talks are being uploaded to the site. You can find them here and here under the name of the corresponding lecturer.

The demand for registrations far superseded the number of allowed students to attend the school presencially, due to Covid-19 restritions. Thus we have now closed that registration option. The online option is still open.

Scientific Scope

This Summer School is organized by the LIBPhys-UNL research group of the Department of Physics of the NOVA School of Science and Technology in Lisbon. This event consists of a five day school on high-precision quantum physics targeted at undergraduate and graduate students.

The school is aimed at helping the attendants developing skills in both theory and instrumentation of state-of-the-art topics in quantum metrology, highly charged ions, exotic atoms, and astrophysics.

World-class experts will give lectures on their fields, and will introduce the problems of manipulating and measuring simple and complex quantum systems. Practical sessions on data analysis, Bayesian statistics, high performance computing for plasma simulations and quantum computing will complement the theoretical lectures.

This scientific event will provide an interdisciplinary forum for students and young scientists working in the field of Atomic Physics to discuss and exchange problems and ideas on the challenges and progress of the field with group leaders from several renowned institutions.

Attendants are expected to bring their own PC for the practical tutorials.

Recognized experts will give lectures and Hands-on trainings in the following topics:
