International Symposium on Quantum Fluids and Solids (QFS), 2009; Northwestern University; Summer 2009

该奖项为 2009 年量子流体和固体会议提供部分支持。 该会议汇集了跨学科框架中的实验和理论专业知识，以解决凝聚态物质中的突出问题，包括超导性、超流动性和超固体。将介绍在原子、超流体和超导体的冷凝聚中体现的涡旋结构和动力学之间的联系。 最近在机械系统、液态和固态氦的低维系统以及新型材料中发现的量子效应将成为焦点。 本次会议主题广泛的意义在于为年轻科学家和学生提供了一次特殊的教育机会。 此外，最有前途的新研究方向及其应用将通过会议计划内组织的积极讨论和研讨会来确定。 此次会议将于 2009 年 8 月 5 日至 11 日在西北大学校园举行，预计将有 250 名与会者。 该项目由材料研究部和物理部共同资助。

This award provides partial support for the 2009 Conference on Quantum Fluids and Solids. The conference brings together both experimental and theoretical expertise in an interdisciplinary framework to resolve outstanding problems in condensed states of matter including superconductivity, superfluidity, and supersolids. The connections between vortex structure and dynamics, manifest in cold condensates of atoms, superfluids, and superconductors will be presented. Quantum effects that have recently been uncovered in mechanical systems, and in systems of low dimensionality in liquid and solid helium, as well as in novel materials will be a focal point. The significance of the breadth of the topics in this conference is to provide an exceptional educational opportunity for young scientists and students. Additionally the most promising new research directions and their applications will be established through active discussions and workshops organized within the conference program. The conference will be held on the Northwestern University campus, August 5-11, 2009 with the expectation of 250 participants. This project is co-funded by the Division of Materials Research and the Division of Physics.
