8th Meeting on HYDRODYNAMIC QUANTUM ANALOGS

第八届流体力学量子类似物会议（HQA8）定于2018年7月23日至27日在布朗大学举行。我们预计，来自美国、墨西哥、巴西、比利时、澳大利亚和英国等世界各国的约30名与会者将出席此次会议。HQA8是该领域一系列会议的第八次会议，该领域始于伊夫·库德（Yves Couder）和伊曼纽尔·福特（Emmanuel Fort）对行走液滴的开创性研究。液滴会走路吗？通过与它产生的波场共振相互作用，在同一液体的振动槽表面反弹。水滴和波的集合被称为行者，它构成了宏观尺度上的波粒结合，已经显示出几个类似量子的特征。资金将用于为学生和研究人员提供旅行支持，否则他们将无法参加，以及支持与研讨会本身相关的一些费用。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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.
