The international meeting

was held in Wanaka 19-23 February 2018 at the Edgewater Hotel on the lakefront. I was the local organiser and chair for the meeting.

The meeting involved around 100 participants and an exciting scientific programme covering latest developments in ultracold atoms and polariton superfluid systems

  • Degenerate Bose and Fermi gases
  • Strongly interacting systems
  • Dipolar condensates
  • Polariton and Exciton condensates
  • Spinor quantum gases
  • Optical lattices
  • Open quantum systems
  • Coarsening Dynamics
  • Strongly correlated systems
  • Thermalisation and prethermalisation
  • Kibble-Zurek mechanism and critical phenomena
  • Non-thermal fixed points and highly excited metastable states
  • Quantum turbulence
  • Solitons, vortices and collective phenomena
  • Quantum quenches and phase transitions of interacting systems
  • Quantum transport and hydrodynamics in strongly interacting systems
  • Monte-Carlo methods for quantum dynamics
  • C-field methods, such as classical field theory
  • Stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation (SGPE), truncated Wigner approximation
  • Multi-configuration time-dependent methods such as MCTDHF
  • Gutzwiller and related approaches for lattice systems
  • Dynamical mean-field theory
  • Methods for open systems such as master equations
  • Exact solutions
