Abstract:

The purpose of the workshop was to present results on, and to discuss, aspects of large quantum systems related to Bose-Einstein condensation. The aim was to consider three themes from three points of view The workshop gathered participants covering all three points of view, with the hope of furthering interaction between the participants, and a fruitful exchange of ideas and possible directions of future research.

Invited speakers (and titles):
