Aims and Scope Contemporary research in physics has led to an increasing overlap between condensed-matter physics and quantum optics: concepts, methods and technologies are being transferred in both directions. Prominent examples are the studies of noise and fluctuations across both fields, the investigation of quantum phase transitions and many-body phenomena in condensed-matter systems as well as with cold atoms and trapped ions, or the discovery of a cavity-QED analogue in macroscopically coherent superconducting nanocircuits.In particular, there is the growing perception within the condensed-matter community that future progress in the controlled utilization of quantum coherence has to come from a successful implementation of some of the methods that have been known in quantum optics for a long time. The aim of this school is to gather some of the leading experts who work at the boundary between quantum optics and condensed-matter physics, with a particular focus on paths towards a successful realization of quantum-optical effects in low-dimensional solid-state systems. The main emphasis shall be on theoretical foundations, concepts, and techniques, as well as on an overview of important experimental achievements. We are confident that a school which combines such profound and complementary expertise will provide a most stimulating environment for young researchers entering this fascinating field of physics.
