8th Meeting on HYDRODYNAMIC QUANTUM ANALOGS

第八届流体动力学量子类似物会议（HQA 8）定于2018年7月23日至27日在布朗大学举行。我们预计将有来自世界各国的约30名与会者出席会议，包括：美国、墨西哥、巴西、比利时、澳大利亚和联合王国。HQA 8是一系列会议中的第八次，该领域始于Yves Couder和Emmanuel Fort在行走液滴方面的开创性工作。液滴罐？走路？通过与它产生的波场的共振相互作用，在振动的液体表面上反弹。液滴和波的系综被称为步行者，它构成了宏观尺度上的波粒缔合，并表现出几种量子特征。资金将用于为无法参加研讨会的学生和研究人员提供差旅费支持，以及支持与研讨会本身相关的一些费用。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The 8th Meeting on Hydrodynamic Quantum Analogs (HQA8) is scheduled to beheld on July 23-27, 2018 at Brown University. We anticipate that the meeting will be attendedby approximately 30 participants from countries worldwide including: United States, Mexico,Brazil, Belgium, Australia, and the United Kingdom. HQA8 it the eighth of a series of meetingson a field that began with the pioneering work of Yves Couder and Emmanuel Fort on walkingdroplets. A liquid droplet can ?walk? by bouncing on the surface of a vibrating bath of the sameliquid through a resonant interaction with the wave field it creates. The ensemble of drop andwaves has been called a walker, which constitutes a wave-particle association at the macroscopicscale which have been shown to exhibit several quantum-like features. Funding will be used toprovide travel support for students and researchers that would otherwise be unable to attend aswell as to support some costs associated with the workshop itself.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
