The unofficial capital of the sunny “New South,” Atlanta, Georgia, will be the site for the Tenth International Quantum Electronics Conference with 24 sessions devoted to one of the “hottest” fields in physics. Scheduled to begin on Monday, 29 May and wind up on Thursday, 1 June, the Conference will meet at the Atlanta Hilton Hotel. The American Institute of Physics and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers are sponsoring the conference through their joint council on quantum electronics. Other co‐sponsors of the conference are the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics and the European Physical Society through a joint council that includes the quantum electronics division of the EPS. Additionally, a concurrent conference on chemical and molecular lasers will be held as one of the scheduled sessions.
