Institutional support: RVO:68378271
Keywords : foundations of quantum physics * quantum optics * quantum measurement * noise * coherence * mesoscopic systems
Subject RIV: BE - Theoretical Physics

The conference addressed the foundations of quantum physics and non-equilibrium quantum statistical physics. Systems considered were mainly on the order of mesoscopic (nanoscale) size, and included those of both natural and artificial origin. The main goal of the conference was 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 included biophysics, gravitation and cosmology.
