2nd Meeting of the Madrid Cold Atoms Network

It gives us great pleasure to announce the 2nd meeting of the Madrid Cold Atoms Network. This will be held on Friday, December 2 in the physics department of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

The meeting aims at bringing together researchers in the Madrid area, working on a wide variety of cold atom physics. The programme will consist chiefly of short talks (of 30 minutes) together with several

intervals for discussion/coffee.
