DESCRIPTION:Cold atoms have emerged as interesting quantum system to study
  coherent transport properties of light. First experiments have establishe
 d that dilute samples with large optical thickness allow studying weak loc
 alization of light.\nThe present goal of this research is to study coheren
 t transport of photons in dense samples. The quest for Anderson localizati
 on of light is among the most  interesting questions currently studied. On
 e important aspect in the quest of Anderson localization of light  with co
 ld atoms is the relation of Anderson localization and Dicke super- or subr
 adiance. With large\nand dense samples of cold atoms the interplay between
  these different phenomena can be studied.\nOther related research topics 
 concern anomalous diffusion (Lévy flights of photons) and random lasing w
 hich can arise if one combines gain with multiple scattering. Cold atoms t
 hus continue to allow for new exciting physics to be investigated.\n
