This workshop, to be held in Recife, Brazil, is aimed at understanding the many facets of Rydberg atom systems at ultracold temperatures (T 1 mK). Samples of ultracold Rydberg atoms have only recently been created using laser cooling and trapping techniques. This advance has lead to a renaissance in the study of Rydberg atoms. There have been many exciting breakthroughs made in research on ultracold Rydberg gases recently, such as the progress towards making quantum gates, the observations of new and exotic types of molecules, the investigation of plasmas at T ~ 1 mK, production and trapping of anti-hydrogen and the study of many-body dynamics. Of central interest is controlling the interactions between Rydberg atoms so that they may be engineered to make new devices based on quantum entanglement or used to investigate phenomena that can be better understood by taking advantage of this control. The broader impacts are that senior scientists, junior scientists, pos-docs and graduate students from a wide range of backgrounds will present their work and share ideas on the future of the field. To date, ultracold Rydberg atom physics has been largely confined to the United States and Europe, where large conferences have addressed this field and several workshops have taken place over the last 5 years. This workshop is aimed at expanding the field to more research groups, particularly in Brazil and, in the larger picture, other South American countries. With this goal in mind, several review talks will stress the main achievements and current scientific challenges in this field in order to ensure a more equal starting point for all the workshop participants. By bringing new researchers and those experienced in this field together, this will encourage the emergence of new ideas, new collaborations, and a more vibrant and active research field. It is important that new students and new researchers in this field are able to interact with those who are more experienced so that the field can grow in new directions without having to 'rediscover' old ground.

该研讨会旨在在巴西雷·巴西举行，旨在理解超低温度（T 1 MK）的Rydberg Atom Systems的许多方面。超速rydberg原子的样品直到最近才使用激光冷却和捕获技术创建。这一进步导致了Rydberg Atoms研究的文艺复兴。最近在对Ultracold Rydberg气体的研究中取得了许多令人兴奋的突破，例如进行量子门的进展，新的和异国情调的分子的观察结果，在T〜1 Mk的血浆研究，抗溶剂基因的生产和抗肿瘤的捕获以及抗Hydrogen的捕获以及多种体动力学的研究。中心兴趣的是控制rydberg原子之间的相互作用，以便可以设计出基于量子纠缠的新设备或用于研究可以通过利用这种控制来更好地理解现象的新设备。 更广泛的影响是，来自各种背景的高级科学家，初级科学家，POS-DOC和研究生将展示他们的工作，并分享有关该领域未来的想法。迄今为止，Ultracold Rydberg Atom Physics主要局限于美国和欧洲，在过去的5年中，大型会议已经在该领域解决了这一领域，并且在过去的5年中进行了几次研讨会。该研讨会旨在将领域扩展到更多的研究小组，尤其是在巴西，在更大的西南国家中。考虑到这一目标，几次审查会议将强调该领域的主要成就和当前的科学挑战，以确保所有研讨会参与者的起点更加平等。通过将新的研究人员和该领域经验丰富的研究人员聚集在一起，这将鼓励新想法的出现，新的合作以及更加充满活力，更活跃的研究领域。重要的是，重要的是，该领域的新学生和新研究人员能够与经验丰富的人进行互动，以便该领域可以向新的方向发展，而不必“重新发现”旧的基础。
