Abstract

This volume contains contributions of speakers and participants of the conference Frontiers of Quantum and Mesoscopic Thermodynamics (FQMT'11) that was held in Prague, Czech Republic at the Pyramida Hotel from 25 to 30 July 2011.FQMT'11 was a follow-up to the two previous, successful Prague conferences Frontiers of Quantum and Mesoscopic Thermodynamics 2004 (FQMT'04) and FQMT'08.As in FQMT'04 and FQMT'08, the aim of FQMT'11 was to create a bridge between the fields of modern condensed matter physics, quantum optics, statistical physics and the quickly developing field of foundations of quantum physics.

Physics at the FQMT'11 conference

Václav Špička, Theo M. Nieuwenhuizen, Peter D. Keefe

A review is given dealing with the recent state of the art of the following topics presented at the FQMT’11 conference: foundations of quantum physics, quantum measurement; nonequilibrium quantum statistical physics; quantum thermodynamics; quantum measurement, entanglement and coherence; dissipation, dephasing, noise, and decoherence; quantum optics; macroscopic quantum behavior; physics of quantum computing and quantum information; mesoscopic, nano-electro-mechanical systems and nano-optical systems; spin systems and their dynamics; biological systems and molecular motors; and cosmology, gravitation and astrophysics. The lectures and discussions at the FQMT’11 conference, as well as the contributions to the related topical issue, reveal important themes for future development. The recent literature is included.

Mathematical results in quantum physics : proceedings of the QMath11 conference : Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, 6-10 September 2010

Pavel Exner

The volume collects papers from talks given at QMath11 - Mathematical Results in Quantum Physics, which was held in Hradec Kralove, September 2010. These papers bring new and interesting results in quantum mechanics and information, quantum field theory, random systems, quantum chaos, as well as in the physics of social systems. Part of the contribution is dedicated to Ari Laptev on the occasion of his 60th birthday, in recognition of his mathematical results and his service to the community. The QMath conference series has played an important role in mathematical physics for more than two decades, typically attracting many of the best results achieved in the last three-year period, and the meeting in Hradec Kralove was no exception

Foreword

Igor Jex

The idea to organize a central-european workshop on quantum optics goes back to the activity of prof. V. Buzžek (Bratislava) and prof. J. Janszky (Budapest). The first meetings were held in Budapest and Bratislava and started a tradition bringing together people working on problems related to quantum optics. Later workshops have been held at Budmerice (Slovakia), Balaton (Hungary), Olomouc and Prague (Czech republic). The already eighth central-european workshop found his way back to Prague and was organized in cooperation with the Doppler Institute and the Department of Physics of the Faculty for Nuclear Science and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The contributions of the participants focus on problems in quantum communication, quantum information, quantum state reconstruction, atom optics and nonlinear quantum optics. The success of the workshop was enabled by the kind cooperation of all the participants during the conference. The present collection of contributions gives a good review of topics presented. We hope that the present issue will be able to transfer the constructive and stimulating atmosphere of the workshop to the readership. I would like to thank the editor prof. D. Lüst and co-editor prof. W. P. Schleich for opening up the possibility to publish the proceedings of the workshop in the Fortschritte der Physik. It surely helps to enlarge the readership of the proceedings and promotes the idea of the central-european workshop among colleagues around the world.

Trends in Quantum Optics

The series of Central European Workshops on Quantum Optics looks back on a successful annual sequence of ten meetings, previously held at locations in Slovakia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and most recently in Germany. The goal to provide a forum for quantum optics specialists from both Central Europe and elsewhere has always been accompanied by an attempt to provide a small-sized and affordable meeting. Together with the contributions of the participants and the many discussion during the meetings, the special flair of this series of Workshops has become well established. This special issue of Journal of Optics B: Quantum and Semiclassical Optics is devoted to the tenth anniversary Workshop, held during 4–7th April 2003 at Rostock-Warnemünde, Germany, on the coast of the Baltic Sea. It contains selected articles by the participants of the Workshop, who came not only from Central Europe but also from other parts of the world. Their contributions cover a variety of subjects, reflecting the fact that, stimulated by the progress of experimental techniques, quantum optics has become a rapidly growing field of research.

Statistical Mechanics and Applications in Condensed Matter

C. Di Castro, Roberto Raimondi

This innovative and modular textbook combines classical topics in thermodynamics, statistical mechanics and many-body theory with the latest developments in condensed matter physics research. Written by internationally renowned experts and logically structured to cater for undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers, it covers the underlying theoretical principles and includes numerous problems and worked examples to put this knowledge into practice. Three main streams provide a framework for the book; beginning with thermodynamics and classical statistical mechanics, including mean field approximation, fluctuations and the renormalization group approach to critical phenomena. The authors then examine quantum statistical mechanics, covering key topics such as normal Fermi and Luttinger liquids, superfluidity and superconductivity. Finally, they explore classical and quantum kinetics, Anderson localization and quantum interference, and disordered Fermi liquids. Unique in providing a bridge between thermodynamics and advanced topics in condensed matter, this textbook is an invaluable resource to all students of physics.
