About

Light, Excitons and Atomic Fluids is an interdisciplinary meeting bringing together researchers from atomic, photonic, and solid-state physics to explore common aspects of quantum fluids and interacting many-body systems. The programme focuses on collective dynamics, phase transitions, and emergent phenomena across platforms including ultracold atoms, photon and polariton condensates, excitonic systems, and nonlinear fluids of light. The workshop aims to highlight universal physics, compare experimental and theoretical approaches, and foster a shared perspective across communities working on quantum fluids.

Accommodation

A variety of hotels, B&Bs, and a few serviced apartments are available in Lecce city centre. However, the number of rooms is limited, and July is a high-demand month, so we strongly recommend booking as early as possible to secure availability.
