0628943RahmanDescription: This proposal is to support participation by US scientists in the 31st International Nathiagali Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs in Islamabad, Pakistan in June-July 2006. The Pakistani organizer is Professor Riazuddin, Director, National Center for Physics, Quaid-Azam University, Islamabad. The request by Dr. Talaat Rahman, Department of Physics, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas is to cover U.S. participation in the workshop. The annual International Nathiagali Summer College (INSC) has served as a vibrant center of activity for scientists in the region. In two week-long sessions, lectures and discussions are held on a range of subjects of current interest in Physics which find applications in the contemporary needs of developing nations. Topics are selected with the aim of providing a synoptic view of latest advances and trends in the fields with the goal of attracting newcomers to the area. INSC is attended by laboratory and industrial researchers, university professors, college teachers, and graduate students. The speakers are generally from the U.S. and Europe, while the participants come from countries in North Africa, the Middle East and South Asia, as well as China. US based scientists continue to form the major group of speakers/faculty for INSC. One reasons for this interest is the opportunity INSC provides US scientists for establishing useful links with scientists from a number of developing countries. While developing countries gain from the transfer of scientific and technological knowledge, these collaborations and scientific exchanges also benefit US scientists. The movement of talented students and postdoctorates to universities in the United States as a result of this interaction has been mutually advantageous. The INSC has had a broad impact and proven to be an effective forum for establishing strong links among scientists and for broader dissemination of scientific knowledge. In this year's College, the first week is dedicated to topics in Quantum Informatics and Quantum Devices, and the second to issues in the applications of Synchrotron Radiation to problems in Nano-Science. Boarding, lodging, and all other local costs of the speakers will be borne by the Pakistani hosts. All expenses for participants from Pakistan and regional countries will also be provided by the Pakistani hosts and other agencies like the Abdus Salam International Center for Theoretical Physics, Italy, and CERN.Intellectual merit: The project will provide an avenue for analysis and understanding of timely issues in selected areas of Quantum Informatics, Quantum Devices, and in nano-scale science as revealed through applications of Synchrotron Radiation. The activity will continue to enable US scientists to disseminate the results of their research to an international community and provide opportunities for recruiting personnel for research collaborations, education and training. Broader impact: The workshop will generate a large clientele with interests in scientific thinking and education in the US. Eventually these types of activities are expected to create a more scientifically aware society worldwide and provide more room for rational thinking, education and creativity. The US participants are to include at least 4 junior scientists and three female scientists.

0628943 Rahman描述：该提案是为了支持美国科学家参加2006年6月至7月在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡举行的第31届国际Nathiagali物理学和当代需求暑期学院。 巴基斯坦的组织者是Riazuddin教授，他是伊斯兰堡阿扎姆大学国家物理中心主任。 位于堪萨斯曼哈顿的堪萨斯州立大学物理系的Talaat Rahman博士提出的要求是为美国参加讲习班提供经费。一年一度的国际Nathiagali暑期学院（INSC）已成为该地区科学家充满活力的活动中心。在为期两周的会议中，就当前感兴趣的物理学主题进行讲座和讨论，这些主题可以在发展中国家的当代需求中找到应用。选择主题的目的是提供该领域最新进展和趋势的概要，目的是吸引新来者。INSC由实验室和工业研究人员，大学教授，学院教师和研究生参加。演讲者通常来自美国和欧洲，而参与者则来自北非，中东和南亚以及中国。美国的科学家继续形成INSC的主要演讲者/教师群体。这种兴趣的一个原因是INSC为美国科学家提供了与一些发展中国家的科学家建立有用联系的机会。虽然发展中国家从科技知识转让中获益，但这些合作和科学交流也使美国科学家受益。由于这种互动，有才华的学生和博士后流向美国的大学，对双方都有利。INSC产生了广泛的影响，并被证明是在科学家之间建立强有力联系和更广泛传播科学知识的有效论坛。在今年的学院，第一周致力于量子信息学和量子器件的主题，第二周致力于同步辐射应用于纳米科学问题的问题。发言者的食宿和所有其他当地费用将由巴基斯坦东道主承担。来自巴基斯坦和地区国家的参与者的所有费用也将由巴基斯坦主办方和其他机构提供，如阿卜杜勒·萨拉姆国际理论物理中心，意大利和欧洲核子研究中心。智力价值：该项目将提供一个途径，分析和理解量子信息学，量子器件，并在纳米尺度科学的选择领域的及时问题，通过同步辐射的应用。这项活动将继续使美国科学家能够向国际社会传播他们的研究成果，并为招募研究合作、教育和培训人员提供机会。更广泛的影响：该研讨会将在美国产生对科学思维和教育感兴趣的大量客户。 最终，这些类型的活动预计将在全世界创造一个更有科学意识的社会，并为理性思维、教育和创造力提供更多的空间。 美国参与者将包括至少4名初级科学家和3名女性科学家。
