About the YAO conference
The Young Atom Optician conference (YAO) is an annual international meeting of young researchers in the field of quantum optics, quantum computation, and quantum gases. The conference has been hosted by research institutes all over Europe and is organized by local PhD students. It gives PhD and Master students the chance to present their research work to an audience of peers and the opportunity to discuss with fellow students in an international lively atmosphere.
In 2017, YAO will be hosted by students from the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel (LKB) and the Institut d’Optique.
