The scientific sessions of the XXIst International Workshop on Quantum Atomic and Molecular Tunneling Systems (QAMTS2024) will start on Monday June 17th in the morning. The meeting will end on Friday June 21st June at lunch time. We recommend arriving to San Sebastian on Sunday evening, June 16th, when a cocktail reception will be offered. A timetable of the workshop is provided below (updated on June 11th, 2024; click on image for larger size).
