    - Open quantum systems

    - Coherent light-matter interactions

    - Cavity enhanced sensing

    - Spinor and dipolar condensates

    - Quantum turbulence

    - Ultracold Bose and Fermi gases

    - Quantum nanophotonics

    - Superconductivity, superfluidity

    - Optical lattice clocks
