The 2^nd International conference on current developments in atomic, molecular and optical physics (CDAMOP) is aimed at experimental and theoretical studies with applications  of the fundamental  properties of atoms, ions and molecules and the interactions between electrons, photons and ions in collisions with atoms, molecules and surfaces. Using modern tools of high-field and ultrafast physics, one no longer merely observes nature, but can reshape and redirect atoms, molecules, particles, or radiation. This new drive towards harnessing quantum dynamics is enormously important to future developments in fundamental physics and applied energy science. Third generation synchrotron sources offer new opportunities to study radiation-matter interactions. Optical techniques have also played a very important role in the creation, understanding and manipulation of atomic and molecular Bose-Einstein Condensates. Complete quantum mechanical description of such properties and interactions is required and to this end, the present conference aims at bringing together experimental and theoretical scientists working in various fields of “Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics”, to share and exchange new ideas. Topics of interest in the conference include: Atoms and Molecules in intense Electromagnetic fields, Laser cooling, trapping and Bose-Einstein condensation, High precision and Ultracold phenomena, Atoms optics and its application in lithography (fabricating nanostructures), Coherent processes in highly excited atoms, High harmonic generation and applications, Coherent optical phenomena,  Attosecond and Ultrashort pulses and their applications, Reaction dynamics using ultrafast techniques, Surface interactions with photons, electrons, ions, atoms, molecules, Quantum optics and its applications to Mesoscopic systems, Photonic crystals. Advanced spectroscopies with new light sources.
