YAO 2025
Young Atom Opticians Conference
6th to the 11th of July 2025 Innsbruck, Austria
About
The Young Atom Opticians Conference (YAO) is an annual conference organized by and for students, primarily targeting PhD and master’s students in atomic, molecular, optical, and quantum physics. The goal is to allow young researchers to share their research and meet fellow students and experts in the field. This year's conference holds special significance as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of YAO, returning to its birthplace in Innsbruck, where it was first held in 1995.
YAO 2025 is jointly organized by PhD students from the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Innsbruck; it will take place in Innsbruck from the 6th to the 11th of July 2025.
