Workshop’s Objectives

 

To assess achievements and to formulate directions of new research
on quantum chaos and localisation.
To bring together prominent experimental and theoretical physicists

who share a common interest in quantum

chaos and localisation phenomena .

 

Workshop’s Scope

 

Presentations will focus on the following topics:
Quantum chaos and nonlinear classical systems; Quantum and microwave billiards;
Quantum and microwave graphs;

Atoms in strong electromagnetic fields – experiment and theory;
