The IX International Symposium “Modern Problems of Laser Physics” (MPLP’2021) will be held in the “House of Scientists”, Akademgorodok, Novosibirsk, Russia. Traditionally, the main objective of MPLP-2021 is to present the frontiers of modern laser physics and its numerous applications, as well as bring together scientists from all regions of the world to establish fruitful scientific collaboration. During the symposium, a special event (International School on Laser Physics and photonics for young scientists) will be offered for young participants.

The main objective of MPLP’2021 is to present the frontiers of modern laser physics, optics and spectroscopy, as well as bring together scientists from all regions of the world to establish fruitful scientific collaboration at regional and global levels. It is planned to discuss the latest achievements and results aimed at the development and refinement of theoretical and experimental methods of laser physics, optics and spectroscopy.

The Scientific Program of MPLP’2021 will include invited and oral talks selected from contributed papers, as well as several Poster Sessions. A Scientific School for Young Scientists will also take place during the Symposium. Following the tradition of MPLP Symposia, the scientific program will comprise single sessions of invited and oral presentations for each topic, running sequentially (i.e. there will be no parallel sessions) and poster sessions.

This year we provide online access to MPLP to the participants who can’t attend the symposium in-person and some of the invited talks will be done online

The list of Symposium topics:
1. New trends in laser physics
2. High-resolution spectroscopy and atomic clocks
3. Physics of ultracold atoms, ions, and molecules
4. Atom interferometers, magnetometers and other quantum sensors
5. Quantum optics and quantum information
6. Extreme Light Fields and Nonlinear Optics
7. Nanophotonics
8.  Applications of laser radiation from THz to UV in biomedicine, technology and other fields
9. Exploring space plasma with lasers
