> The past few years have seen a surge in activity aimed at manipulating
> quantum interference phenomena with lasers in order to control molecular,
> atomic, and optical processes. In particular, use of coherent light in the
> weak and strong field regimes, in a field termed quantum coherent control
> has been shown to lead to great selectivity of molecular
> photo-dissociation; atomic and molecular photo-ionization; phase dependent
> current directionality in semiconductors; adaptive pulse-shaping control
> of branching reactions; chiral molecules separation; nanodeposition of
> predetermined patterns by purely optical means; and control of High
> Harmonics generation.
> Simultaneously with the above, great progress has been made in using
> quantum systems as computation and storage devices; to secure information
> transmission; and even for teleportation. The resulting field, often
> called quantum information is strongly linked and often has similar
> objectives to those of quantum control.
> The goal of the Summer School is to deliver the basics and the
> recent issues of the field to Young Researchers (PhD students,
> post-doctorates, young scientists...) and new comers to the field.

> Optimal Control
> Strong Field Phenomenology
> STIRAP
>
> 3) Case Studies (CS) giving application examples of each topic covered
> in the General Lectures :
> Case studies of Coherent Control
> Optimal Control

>
> 4) New Routes (NR), where new fields in which Coherent Control starts to
> be applied, or could be applied :
> Laser induced transparency and dark state polaritons (NR)
> Quantum information (NR)
