International Seminar and Workshop on
New Frontiers of Quantum Chaos in Mesoscopic Systems
May 19 - 30, 2008
Scientific Coordinators:
Martina Hentschel (MPI PKS Dresden, Germany)
Mark G. Raizen (University of Texas, USA)
Jan Wiersig (University of Bremen, Germany)
Organisation:

The field of quantum chaos brings together an amazing range of sub-fields spanning
atomic, nuclear, and mesoscopic physics as well as optics and acoustics.
The common theme uniting all of these sub-fields is the study of quantum
signatures of the underlying classical chaos. In the past, quantum chaos
was mostly a theoretical topic, however, it is now being tested in new
experimental systems that have emerged over the past twenty years and
continue to develop, making it a rich and vibrant field of research.
The aim of this international meeting is to formulate what has been
achieved in the last years, where we have arrived at present, and what
are the urgent questions ahead of us. By bringing together experts from
the fields of photonic, electronic, atomic, and nanoelectromechanical
mesoscopic systems, both from theory and experiment, we want to provide
the venue for a stimulating exchange of ideas and concepts across the
various fields through discussions of the impact of nonlinear dynamics and
quantum chaos on the properties of mesoscopic systems.
During the workshop (May 19 - 22), invited and contributed talks will
focus on the most recent experiments and the latest theoretical
developments in the field. The seminar (May 23 - 30) will then continue with time reserved for discussions as well
as lectures, talks, and posters where we want to give in particular
younger researchers the opportunity to present their own research
topics.
