Nuclei and Mesoscopic Physics

Mesoscopic physics unifies physical systems in between microworld and macroworld. Such systems are sufficiently large to reveal certain statistical regularities, but they are sufficiently small to allow physicists to study, both theoretically and experimentally, individual quantum states. The conference covers common and specific features of those systems (nuclei, complex atoms and molecules, atomic traps, sold state micro- and nano-devices, prototypes of future quantum computers). This young field is rapidly developing opening new ideas and technological breakthroughs.

Klappentext

Mesoscopic physics unifies physical systems "in between" microworld and macroworld. Such systems are sufficiently large to reveal certain statistical regularities, but they are sufficiently small to allow physicists to study, both theoretically and experimentally, individual quantum states. The conference covers common and specific features of those systems (nuclei, complex atoms and molecules, atomic traps, sold state micro- and nano-devices, prototypes of future quantum computers). This young field is rapidly developing opening new ideas and technological breakthroughs.
