IMS Programme
MHQP-2008 on
MATHEMATICAL HORIZONS FOR QUANTUM PHYSICS
28 July - 21 September 2008
This programme aims at bringing together mathematicians, whose work has a
bearing on quantum physics, with researchers in mathematical physics and
theoretical physics, whose work will benefit from the mathematical progress.
The collaboration between these scientists of different background, different
expertise, and different scientific culture will bear fruit on the research
of all participants by intellectual cross-fertilization.
MHQP-2008 is composed of four Sessions:
- Session 1 on Quantum Control and Dynamics,
28 July - 17 Aug 2008 (weeks 1-3)
- Session 2 on Operator Algebras in Quantum Information,
11 Aug - 31 Aug 2008 (weeks 3-5)
- Session 3 on Non-equilibrium Statistical Mechanics,
25 Aug - 15 Sep 2008 (weeks 5-7)
- Session 4 on Strongly Interacting Many-Particle Systems,
01 Sep - 21 Sep 2008 (weeks 6-8)
Prof. Huzihiro Araki (Kyoto) is the
Programme Coordinator.
