Non-linear optical and atomic systems: deterministic and stochastic aspects

The conference is held in the M2 Building , room "Salle de Réunion", located on first floor from January 21-25, 2013. A map of the University campus can be found here.

Aims and scope
The Phlam and Painlevé laboratories organize in conjunction with the "Centre Européen pour les Mathématiques, la Physique et leurs Interactions" the first joint conference of the Thematic Semester Painlevé-CEMPI-Phlam.

The main scientific goal of the one-week conference is to bring together physicists and mathematicians interested in the experimental, theoretical and mathematical study of the interplay between dynamical determinism and fluctuations in three selected nonlinear systems: cold-atom experiments, light pulses in optical fibers and relativistic electron bunches.

This conference features three introductory courses by international experts that will be accessible to a wide audience of mathematicians and physicists, and in particular doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers. Limited funding for their participation is available, see below. More specialized talks given by other experts in mathematics and physics will complete the program.

Program
The conference will include three introductory courses:
- Numerical aspects: Xavier Antoine (Nancy, France),
- Physical aspects and modelling: Sergej Flach (Auckland, New-Zealand),
- Stochastic aspects: Josselin Garnier (Paris 7, France),

Talks given by other experts in mathematics and physics will complete the program.
Confirmed Plenary speakers:
- Anne De Bouard (Palaiseau, France),
- Claudio Conti (Rome, Italy),
- Jean Dalibard (ENS, Collège de France, France)
- Ionut Danaila (Rouen, France),
- John Dudley (Besançon, France),
- Gennady El (Loughborough, United Kingdom),
- Philippe Gravejat (Palaiseau, France),
- Benoit Grebert (Nantes, France),
- Patricio Leboeuf (Orsay, France),
- Jean-Claude Saut (Orsay, France)
