2006.
Scientific Advisory Committee.
E. Arimondo, G.Casati, I.Cirac, M.Cirillo, C.Cosmelli , S.Fazio, M.Inguscio, A.Lambrecht, C.Macchiavello, V.I.Man'ko, P.Mataloni, H.Nakazato, I.Ohba, F.Petruccione, H. Rauch, L.Sanchez-Soto, M.O.Scully, G.Strinati, S.Stringari, V.Tognetti, P.Tombesi, G.Wendin, P.Zanardi, A.Zeilinger, P.Zoller.
Like previous workshops in
this series (TQMFA 2005 -
Palermo, Vietri sul Mare, 2005), the
conference will have an interdisciplinary character, focusing on quantum
mechanical applications, decoherence and entanglement, quantum phase
transitions, quantum information and computation and the semiclassical limit.
Emphasis will be given to physical implementations (BECs, atomic and molecular
systems, spin systems, solid-state applications).
The Centro Residenziale of
the University of Bologna is located in Bertinoro, a small village half way between
Forli and Cesena, not far from Bologna. A description of the facility and
logistic instructions can be found at: www.centrocongressibertinoro.it/inglese/centro_universitario.htm
Attendance to the
conference will be limited to no more than 100 participants and accommodation
can be guaranteed only on a "first-come-first-served" basis (only 48
single and 38 double rooms are available). Therefore, if you intend to participate,
please read the instructions in the registration
form, which has to be sent back to Centro Residenziale at your earliest
convenience, but before November 15, 2006.
Accomodation includes a 5
nights stay (arrival on Dec. 3 and departure on Dec. 8), and breakfast and
lunch for the 4 days of the conference.
The cost per person is EUR
350 in a single room or EUR 300 in a double room. (Notice that this includes
both registration and accommodation and that, due to administrative reasons, no
reduction can be applied for a shorter stay).
Young researchers and
graduate students are strongly encouraged to apply.
Whoever is interested in
presenting a talk
or a poster is
invited to submit a title and a short abstract by e-mail to ercolessi@bo.infn.it before October 31,
2006.
We are considering the
possibility of publishing the proceedings of the conference.
A detailed program of the
conference will be available as soon as possible.
