SYAU: Guest Country Symposium Austria: SSelected Highlights of AMOP in Austria"

SYAU 1: Selected highlights of AMOP in Austria

Wednesday, March 4, 2026, 11:00–13:15, RW 1

Austria is the guest country at this SAMOP Spring Meeting. Austria and Germany look back on a long tradition of successful cooperation, a highlight example being the birth of quantum mechanics in 1925 with groundbreaking work by researchers from both Austria and Germany. The formulation of quantum mechanics laid a lasting foundation for our physical understanding of nature, and today, a good 100 years later, has an impact on all areas of culture, science, and technology. With this symposium, the DPG would like to sustainably expand these intensive connections in the fields of atomic and molecular physics, quantum optics, photonics and mass spectrometry. Further highlights will be set by excellent plenary and keynote speakers from Austria.
