11 Aug 2008 → 22 Aug 2008; Dresden, Saxony, Germany

abstract: Spectacular advances in the technology of ultrashort laser pulses down to the attosecond regime have motivated the development of novel time-dependent methods for the description of the quantum dynamics of electrons in atoms and molecules as well as of the molecular backbone. Large successes for field-driven electrons could be achieved, e.g., by using semiclassical methods, which are based on an underlying path integral. Furthermore, dissipative nuclear dynamics is of central importance, e.g., for the interpretation of spectral information. The path integral formalism again serves as the starting point for the nonperturbative analysis of dissipative quantum motion. Therefore, a workshop bringing together researchers from the fields of path integrals as applied to dissipative as well as driven motion on the molecular scale and from the field of semiclassical approximations shall help to create ideas for developments of even better methodology and shall foster the understanding of the underlying physics.

abstract: Join the Optics & Photonics community in summer 2008

Within the first KSOP Summer School, we invite you to join the O&P community in an extraordinary environment and to get interesting insights and learn about new approaches in the context of O&P research. The two-day program comprises four "slots" related to the KSOP research areas each with one keynote speaker and additional well-known experts. This approach highlights the interdisciplinary character of KSOP, enforces the dialogue between the different research areas, and therefore connects your perspectives!

The Summer School is directed mainly at master students, doctoral candidates and postdocs. Nevertheless, interested senior scientists are more than welcome to attend.

All lectures and talks will be held in English. To enhance discussion and exchange, part of the Summer School will be a poster presentation. Each participant is invited to present a poster including his or her scientific background, research interest or current research project. If you attend all lectures and present a poster, KSOP will issue a certificate stating that the workload for the course equals 2 ECTS credit points.
