abstract: This conference is the 11th issue in the series of QMath meetings. Their purpose is to present the state of art in the "quantum part" of mathematical physics and bring together researchers from this field for scientific exchanges. It is also a great opportunity to initiate new collaborations.

abstract: Quantum coherence and decoherence are at the heart of both foundations and applications of quantum physics. The aim of this meeting is to bring together a small group of experts on quantum physics and quantum information, and to let them interact with each other and with a select group of junior participants who share similar interests in the stimulating setting of Benasque.

abstract: The school is aimed at an audience of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and junior post-docs. The school comprises four lecture series on modern topics of quantum physics, held by international experts of the respective fields.

abstract: The interdisciplinary field of quantum information processing and communication connects at its deepest level quantum mechanics, photonics, solid state physics, superconductivity, atomic physics, and electronics with computer science and information theory in order to gain advantages and functionality in cryptography, communication, and computing that are impossible to achieve within the realm of classical physics. Quantum information science has also revitalized the discussions about the foundations of quantum theory. The field has grown rapidly and is now one of the "hottest" subfields in both computer science and in physics.

The International Conference on Quantum Information will focus on physical and theoretical aspects of quantum information processing and communication, as well as on their physical implementation. The conference will bring together key researchers in the foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum information theory, quantum communication, quantum key distribution, and quantum computing to review, present and discuss recent important results.

abstract: This workshop aims to bring together researchers in quantum field theory of nonequilibrium states from various branches of physics, including atomic, molecular and nuclear and condensed matter physics. The principle objective of the workshop is to consolidate the efforts in nonequilibrium many-body theory. Topics will include, but not limited to (i) nonequilibrium quantum transport through nanostructures, (ii) out of equilibrium nuclear and AMO systems, (iii) nonequilibrium dynamics of ultracold atomic quantum gases. We plan to create an interactive atmosphere with an open exchange of ideas and ample time for discussions.

abstract: In recent years, many theoretical as well as experimental investigations in condensed matter physics have been devoted to the study of strongly correlated systems. The inherent complexity of understanding the effects of correlations makes the field intrinsically interdisciplinary, requiring a broad debate and an international collaboration to achieve reliable results. The Training Courses in the Physics of Strongly Correlated Systems - taking place in the enchanting Amalfi Coast - are aimed at graduate students and PostDoc researchers, and offer the fascinating possibility to meet selected experts belonging to different physics areas, all relevant to the investigation of strongly correlated systems. The Courses intend to promote the research in the field of highly correlated systems by putting together senior researchers with outstanding experience and promising young researchers eager to improve their skills and topical knowledge.

The Courses are opened to a limited number (around 30) of young (aged under 35) researchers. The registration fee is € 350 (Euro), and includes one copy of the Proceedings, conference kit and coffee breaks. Unfortunately, the registration fee cannot be absolutely waived. Lodging and meals (full-board accommodation in the selected Hotel: Hotel La Lucertola), for the entire duration of the course, will be of the order of € 1,200 (Euro). A significant number of grants, covering either partially or totally the full-board accommodation, will be assigned to accepted participants, upon request and after a careful screening of CVs and home institution funding capabilities. A limited number of participants will have the opportunity to deliver a seminar and contribute to the Proceedings.

In the 2010 edition, young researchers will benefit from training in scientific techniques and various methodologies under the guidance of 4 highly qualified senior researchers

abstract: Quantum Optics I was held in Santiago de Chile, in the year 2000. It was thought as the start of a series of conferences through Latin America that would have a good component of 'local' researchers working in the area. Last Quantum Optics conferences took place in: Cozumel, Mexico (II), Pucón, Chile (III), and Florianópolis, Brazil (IV). Quantum Optics V will be held again in the Island of Cozumel, Mexico and will provide a forum to discuss many developments in laser physics and quantum optics, such as quantum optical realizations of quantum information processing, trapped ions, atom optics, quantum computing, and quantum state reconstruction among others.

abstract: CLEO/Europe is the largest, most comphrensive gathering of optics and photonics researchers and engineers in Europe.

abstract: The aim of FQMT'11 is to create a bridge between the fields of modern condensed matter physics, quantum optics and statistical physics and the quickly developing field of foundations of quantum physics.

The conference will address the foundations of quantum physics and non-equilibrium quantum statistical physics. The systems considered will be mainly on the order of mesoscopic (nanoscale) size, and include those of both natural and artificial origin.

The main goal of the conference is to contribute to the uncovering of possible phenomenological (“quantum thermodynamic”) laws governing the behavior of mesoscopic systems, and to provide better understanding and insight into the recent problems of the foundations, relying on the theoretical and experimental methods of condensed matter physics and quantum optics. Special attention will be given to the dynamics of mesoscopic open systems and their relevance to problems of measurement of non-equilibrium quantum systems, thermal and quantum fluctuations, dissipation, noise, physics of quantum information and biological systems, in terms of both theory and experiment. Additional subjects will include biophysics, gravitation and cosmology.

abstract: Quantum Theory and Symmetries (QTS) is a biennial international conference series devoted to applications of symmetry principles in a wide variety of subfields of theoretical and mathematical physics. It cuts across a wide spectrum of subfields within physics and mathematics, emphasizing common themes and interdisciplinary approaches. Since its founding in 1999, the conference has been hosted in Germany, Poland, USA, Bulgaria, and Spain.

abstract: IQEC/CLEO Pacific Rim 2011 combines four major meetings in the field of lasers and their scientific and technological applications:

- The International Quantum Electronics Conference (IQEC)
- The Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) Pacific Rim
- The Australasian Conference on Optics, Lasers and Spectroscopy (ACOLS)
- The Australian Conference on Optical Fibre Technology (ACOFT)

This meeting will bring together international research leaders who span the spectrum of laser development, optical devices, and photonics, with applications to such fields as optical communications, laser spectroscopy, ultrafast optics, nonlinear optics, high field physics and quantum/atom optics.

IQEC rotates between Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim every two years, while CLEO Pacific Rim is held on a similar frequency within the Asia-Pacific Region. The conjunction of these two major international conferences Sydney in 2011, together with the two major local conferences in this field, will make this the most significant meeting in lasers and their applications ever to have been held in Australia.
