Recent technological advances have spurred the study of parametric phenomena related to the modulation of a system's potential. Parametric phenomena manifest as squeezing, parametric amplification, mode coupling, or cat states. Examples of experimental systems include cold-atoms in optical lattices, integrated photonics, circuit quantum electrodynamics, optomechanics, exciton-polariton systems, as well as coupled nanomechanical structures. The controllability of such engineered setups has opened up new perspectives for fundamental exploration and applications of parametric phenomena.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together experimental and theoretical leading figures in nonlinear optics, circuit quantum electrodynamics, and nanomechanics, in order to discuss the far-reaching prospects of this emerging field. We hope to foster fruitful discussions and knowledge transfer across the various communities. We welcome interested participants to register. Deadline for registration is November 30, 2022. Every participant has the opportunity to present a contributed talk or a poster.

Hotel rooms are booked from January 10 to 14 for all invited speakers.
