Quantum control of light and matter makes use of coherent interactions between light fields and quantum systems to direct dynamics and prepare target quantum states. Quantum control is inherently interdisciplinary, and this conference will highlight prospects and efforts in many areas including:

• Control over chemical reactions
• Ultrafast dynamics and time resolved spectroscopy
• The development of new (nonlinear/multidimensional) spectroscopies
• Quantum state engineering Quantum information
• Control in open systems
• The role of quantum coherence in large (mesoscopic/biological) systems
• Applications to molecular discrimination, microscopy, devices etc

There will be an equal emphasis on theory and experiment at the conference.
