Goal of the conference: Bring together scientists from several regions of the world to learn from each other and to discuss two of the main current frontiers of research in ultra-cold atoms and molecules: heteronuclear mixtures, dipolar molecules, and few-body physics.

The chosen topics cover current frontier research in ultra-cold atoms and molecules. They include the analysis of novel quantum phases, thermodynamic, and non-equilibrium phenomena which have direct connection to problems found in condensed matter physics, astrophysics and nuclear physics. The connections to condensed matter physics are particularly strong in the case of optical lattices, where ultra-cold atoms can simulate many known and possibly unknown condensed matter phenomena with incredible control. In addition, ultra-cold heteronuclear molecules can reveal completely new phenomena which are not possible to realize in standard condensed matter systems, due to the existence of their electric dipolar moments. Lastly, Efimov states and few-body physics, which are also relevant to nuclear physics, can be studied in mixtures of ultracold fermions or bosons under well controlled circumstances
