From 27 to 30 June, Vilnius University hosted a Workshop on Unconventional Optical Lattices (UOL2025), organised by VU Faculty of Physics.
“Unconventional optical lattices are a new and rapidly developing area in the field of cold atom physics. These lattices can feature non-traditional geometries, and the spacing between atoms may be smaller than in conventional optical lattices, thereby enhancing interatomic interactions. This opens up new avenues to explore phenomena inaccessible with traditional lattices, as well as the creation and control of exotic quantum states — which are crucial for quantum simulations and quantum engineering. The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers in this field to engage in joint discussions on the latest trends and challenges in studying unconventional optical lattices,” said UOL2025 organiser, Distinguished Professor Gediminas Juzeliūnas of Vilnius University.
The workshop was supported by the Project by the Lithuanian Research Council S-MIP-24-97 "Ultracold atoms in unconventional optical lattices”.
