The 2nd International Online Conference on Atoms

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the 1st International Online Conference on Atoms (IOCAT2026), it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2nd International Online Conference on Atoms (IOCAT2027), which will take place online from 27 to 29 January 2027. The conference is organized by the MDPI open access journal Atoms (ISSN: 2218-2004; Impact Factor: 1.5).

The first edition of IOCAT demonstrated the strong interest of the community in an international forum dedicated to atomic physics and its applications. Building on this success, the 2027 edition will extend over three days, allowing for a broader scientific program and more opportunities for discussion and interaction among participants.

IOCAT2027 aims to bring together researchers working in the diverse areas of atomic physics and related fields, providing a platform to present recent advances in and exchange ideas on both theoretical and experimental developments.

The conference will feature the following sessions:
S1. Atomic structure and spectroscopy: theory and experiment;
S2. Atomic collisions and strong field processes;
S3. Atomic data for astrophysics and laboratory plasmas;
S4. Cold atoms, quantum control and quantum technologies;
S5. Computational and AI methods in atomic physics;
S6. Fundamental tests and precision measurements with atoms.

These topics reflect the breadth and vitality of modern atomic physics, from fundamental studies of atomic structure and interactions to emerging applications in quantum technologies, astrophysics, and precision measurements.

As an online international conference, IOCAT2027 offers researchers from around the world the opportunity to participate and to exchange ideas without the need for travel, enabling a wide and diverse participation.

I would like to thank all members of the scientific and organizing committees for their efforts in preparing this conference, as well as all speakers and participants for contributing to its success.

I look forward to welcoming you to IOCAT2027 for three days of stimulating scientific exchange.

Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Pascal Quinet
Atomic Physics and Astrophysics, University of Mons, Belgium.
