The focus of this workshop is on the emerging methods in atomic and molecular systems for tests of fundamental physics in the laboratory. Topics will include tabletop searches for dark matter and variations in fundamental constants, searches for permanent electric and nuclear dipole moments, tests of quantum electrodynamics through precision spectroscopy and atom interferometry, tests of short-range gravity and relativity, and precision comparisons between optical atomic and nuclear clocks.
