In the last few years, the field of ultracold molecules has blossomed. The recent observations of the Bose-Einstein condensation and degenerate Fermi gases of dipolar molecules have been the pursued since the first production of ultracold polar molecules in their ground quantum states nearly two decades ago. Unprecedented quantum control over state-to-state chemical reactions has been achieved. Molecular qubits based on polar molecules in optical tweezers have joined the race towards building scalable and useful quantum computers. First solid-state inspired spin models with ultracold polar molecules in optical lattices have been realized. Laser-coolable radioactive and polyatomic molecules promise to test predictions of the Standard Model.

This conference will gather experimentalists and theoreticians who have contributed to these developments and will reach beyond the traditional AMO community to broaden the perspective on applications in quantum many-body physics and emerging molecular quantum technologies. The conference will also identify new research directions that can emerge from recent developments.
