The primary motivation of this meeting is to bring together investigators from diverse areas of ultracold AMO physics & quantum optics and discuss the nuts-and-bolts of recent developments in the field and find common grounds to cross-pollinate ideas. The primary emphasis will be on contemporary topics currently being pursued by Indian researchers. The meeting will be held in a hybrid offline-online mode.This is the second in the series of TAMIONs meetings. The topics  are:Ultracold atoms, molecules and ionsQuantum opticsQuantum thermodynamics and simulationEligibility:Physical participation is by invitation only. For online participation, we encourage faculty members, young researchers and students (who have completed at least 1 year of MSc by May 2022) to apply online.  ICTS is committed to building an environment that is inclusive, non-discriminatory and welcoming of diverse individuals. We especially encourage the participation of women and other under-represented groups.

Flavour physics, the study of weak interactions of quarks and leptons, is in an exciting period with various anomalies observed in the decays of B mesons and processes involving muons, as well as LHC Run-3 starting operation in 2022 while the Belle II B factory steadily accumulating data. Conclusive evidence as to whether this sector of the standard model of particle physics is broken may be just around the corner. The programme will offer a pedagogical introduction to experimental and phenomenological flavour physics through seven brief lecture courses, followed by a three-day topical conference. The lecture courses will introduce flavour phenomenology within the standard model and beyond, as well as explaining the role of quantum chromodynamics. In addition, there will be lectures about the experimental techniques employed at the LHC and in electron-positron collisions. The concluding topical conference will review the latest results and prospects in the field of flavour physics.Elig...

Waves are ubiquitous in natural fluid systems like the Earth's ocean, planetary atmosphere, and the interior of stars and planets. Stratification (owing to spatial variations of temperature, salinity, gravity or magnetic field) and/or Coriolis effects (owing to the rotation of planets & stars) represent key physical ingredients of wave generation, propagation and dissipation in many of these large-scale systems. Together with the significant amounts of energy input into them, the ability of waves to transport energy and momentum (and maybe mass too) through large spatial extents has significant implications for (i) global flow features like oceanic or atmospheric circulation, mean temperature distribution in planets/stars etc., (ii) the overall energy budget, and (iii) biological activity in the ocean. Furthermore, it is now widely recognized that wave dissipation mechanisms (and the resulting generation of heat and mixing) have to be accurately parameterized in global scale numerical ...
