Zusammenfassung: The goal of the program is to bring together the world leaders in spectral theory of random Schrödinger operators and theoretical physicists successfully working on the problem of Anderson localization. Among the topics that will be addressed during the program are: The nature of critical phenomena associated with localization-delocalization transitions; The existence and statistical properties of extended states for D > 2 and the behaviour in the critical dimension D = 2; Rigorous version of supersymmetric methods and of the nonlinear ?-model techniques; The localization-delocalization phenomena associated with the Integer Quantum Hall effect; Rigorous mathematical understanding of the relation between magnetic Schrödinger operators and network models, and the connection with quantum percolation; Localization in the presence of a random magnetic field; Behaviour of products of random matrices and associated Lyapunov exponents; Localization and delocalization in disordered systems characterised by non-selfadjoint operators; Dynamical localization in Quantum Chaotic systems; Localization in systems with aperiodic potential, as well as in models with correlated or long-ranged disorder; Localization in systems with nonlinearities, and localization-delocalization phenomena in disordered systems of interacting quantum particles.

Zusammenfassung: Scientific contributions from the participants are welcome. They will have the opportunity to talk about their works either orally or by presenting a poster. Oral contributions: Four 20 minutes long talks will be selected among the contributions for being presented orally. The selection of the oral contributions will be a task of the program committee, whose decision will be based on the comparative judgement of the submissions. All the other submissions may then be presented as posters. The decision of the program comittee will be sent to each participant who applied for oral presentation. Poster contributions: There will be a poster session after the dinner of the first day of the workshop. It is intended that the posters be kept hanging at their places until the end of the event, so that there are more opportunities for discussion.

Zusammenfassung: The field of degenerate quantum gases is one of the most rapidly expanding areas in physics today. Fascinating, new quantum phenomena are continually emerging, raising issues fundamental to a variety of fields. Because of the increasing interdisciplinarity of degenerate quantum gases, this conference intends to bring together the most active researchers from the entire spectrum of activity to discuss forefront developments, as well as exciting future directions.

Zusammenfassung: The conference is dedicated to a discussion of the theoretical and experimental aspects of the spin-statistics connection, in particular to the experimental tests of Pauli Exclusion Principle, and related symmetries.

Zusammenfassung: The 11th Asian Workshop on First-Principles Electronic Structure Calculations (ASIAN11) will be held at the National Sun Yat-sen University in Kaohsiung of Taiwan on Nov. 3~5, 2008 and will be preceded by two pre-workshop lectures on Quantum Monte Carlo given by professor Claudia Fillipi on the afternoon prior to the workshop.

This workshop is an annual series beginning in 1998 to provide a forum for discussing all important issues in physics, chemistry, biology and materials science using first-principles electronic structure calculations. The primary purpose of the workshop is to offer an opportunity for exchanging ideas and enjoying in-depth discussion on the methodology and its applications as well as promoting collaborations between participants. The majority of the participants are expected to come from Asia while scientists from other regions are also very welcome. Every time three to five leading scientists from outside of Asia are invited. Following the last Asian Workshop held in Hiroshima University, there will be a competition for the best posters.

Zusammenfassung: The workshop "Correlations and Coherence in Quantum Matter" will bring together leading experts in the fields of quantum many-particle physics, statistical field theory, and quantum information theory. The aim is to bring young scientists (Ph.D. students or postdoctoral researchers) to the forefront of these fields and to stimulate discussions across topical boundaries.

Zusammenfassung: Expository Quantum Lecture Series (EQuaLS) is a series of lectures conducted by members of Laboratory of Computational Sciences & Informatics, Institute for Mathematical Research and Physics Department, Faculty of Science. The main objective of this lecture series is to rapidly introduce and update researchers and students with the latest developments and techniques in quantum science and technology or related areas. This year's lecture series will be on 'Foundations of Quantum Science & Technology 2008'.

Zusammenfassung: The interdisciplinary workshop provides the possibility for presenting and exchanging progress in the description of nonequilibrium phenomena in finite systems. Experiments on very short time scales are characterized by transient phenomena like the formation of correlations and quasiparticle excitations far from equilibrium. Conventionally applied theoretical techniques have to be critically reviewed, and new theoretical concepts have to be discussed. The development of reliable methods is of great importance for designing and fabricating today’s nanostructures. The workshop wants to contribute to the understanding of correlations in optical and transport phenomena in small systems by bringing together theorists and experimentalists from different areas. The workshop is supported by DFG, SMWK, ICCMP and FZD.

Zusammenfassung: Quantum mechanical interactions at the atomic scale often dictate biological processes those are extremely complex in nature. This is particularly important for applied biosciences (bionanotechnology, pharmacology) where theoretical methods based on quantum mechanics are being used with increasing success.

The integration of different electronic-structure methods with various levels of approximations allows us to analyze experimental results and also to predict properties with reasonable accuracies. This workshop will bring in experts in the field of applied biological sciences to interact, exchange and compare the various methodologies and show the potentialities and the limitation of state-of-the art quantum-mechanics-based computational techniques.

Emphasis will be given on topics and approaches for which direct contact with experiments can be made. Also, this workshop will serve as an excellent platform for the training of Ph.D. students, postdocs and early stage young researchers.

Zusammenfassung: It will mainly consist in short courses on mathematical problems linked to quantum chaos. Thus, it is primarily targetted at senior graduate students, postgraduate students and junior faculty but experienced researchers are also welcome. The topics will be quantum toral automorphisms, quantum chaos on compact hyperbolic surfaces and quantum graphs.

Zusammenfassung: n the last years the AdS/CFT correspondence has opened a whole new avenue for the study of phenomena and systems that were not accessible to an analytic treatment, due to its non-perturbative, strongly coupled behaviour. The correspondence emerges as a new tool to understand analytically the dynamics of gauge field theories thanks to its weak/strong duality nature.

Of special interest is the case of QCD and its cousins, and concretely the quark-gluon plasma, where the correspondence has shed new light on the understanding of the experimental results obtained at RHIC. Recently, the application of holographic techniques to condensed matter systems has also been considered.

The workshop will address applications of AdS/CFT to collective phenomena arising in these contexts.

Zusammenfassung: Quantum computing represents the prodigiously fertile union of quantum physics with the theory of computation and especially issues of computational complexity. It is known that quantum processes can offer solutions to some information processing tasks that are exponentially more efficient than any known classical methods. Perhaps the most celebrated example is Shor's 1994 quantum algorithm for integer factorisation.

In recent years there has been a surge of activity in our understanding of quantum computational power and its prospective applicability and limitations. A variety of problems in diverse areas of mathematics, has been identified (so-called BQP-complete problems) that have efficient quantum algorithms and also embody the full power of efficient quantum computation. In quantum many body physics (including study of quantum circuits, of local hamiltonians, and of further formalisms such as measurement based computing) some problems have been shown, surprisingly, to admit efficient classical solution while others (e.g. certain ground state properties of local hamiltonians) are likely to be computationally intractible, having been shown to be so-called QMA-complete. Quantum entanglement is often regarded as an essential ingredient in these considerations and there has been considerable development in understanding its scaling behaviour in many body systems.

This conference is devoted to recent theoretical developments in these areas and related issues. Invited speakers will be requested to include overview material (in addition to recent research) with the aim of making the essential ideas of these important developments accessible to a broader audience of QIP researchers.

Zusammenfassung: Quantum computation, quantum communication, and quantum cryptography are subfields of quantum information processing, an interdisciplinary field of information science and quantum mechanics. TQC 2009 focuses on theoretical aspects of these subfields. The objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers so that they can interact with each other and share problems and recent discoveries. It will consist of invited talks, contributed talks, and a poster session.
