EPQHS-3 Conference, Cappanori (Lucca), Tuscany, Italy, Summer 2009

该奖项为将于2009年6月25日至28日在意大利卢卡举行的第三届量子霍尔系统（EPQHS）涌现现象研讨会提供了部分支持。研讨会将考虑在二维电子系统中，当暴露在高磁场和/或冷却到非常低的温度，接近绝对零度时，有趣的量子相研究的最新令人兴奋的进展。EPQHS的主要目标是将领先的科学家与年轻的研究人员聚集在一起，评估最近的发展。量子霍尔系统中涌现现象的研究仍处于起步阶段，要澄清和控制这种多体系统的基本集体行为还有很多工作要做。然而，这种新现象可能会导致量子信息处理的创新架构，固体中自旋相关输运的新方案，以及基于碳纳米结构的非耗散电路设计。将讨论将科学前沿研究与潜在应用相结合的新愿景。一个由高级研究人员组成的国际委员会组织了这次研讨会。NSF的支持将使具有不同背景和目标的美国年轻科学家能够参加和参与研讨会。小型研讨会形式将为年轻科学家提供一个展示他们的工作并与该领域的主要研究人员互动的机会。这次讲习班有可能发展未来的国际合作。

This award provides partial support for the third symposium on Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Hall Systems (EPQHS) to be held in Lucca, Italy June 25 - 28, 2009. The symposium will consider recent exciting advances in the studies of intriguing quantum phases that occur in two-dimensional electron systems when exposed to high magnetic fields and/or are cooled to very low temperatures, close to absolute zero. The main goals of EPQHS are to bring leading scientists together with young researchers, to evaluate recent developments. Research in the area of emergent phenomena in quantum hall systems is still in its infancy and much has to be done to clarify and to be able to control the fundamental collective behavior of such many-body systems. However the novel phenomena may lead to innovative architectures for quantum information processing, novel schemes for spin-dependent transport in solids, and non-dissipative circuit designs based on carbon nanostructures. New visions that combine research at the frontiers of science with potential applications will be discussed. An international committee of senior researchers has organized the workshop. NSF support will enable young US scientists with diverse backgrounds and goals to attend and participate in the workshop. The small workshop format will provide an opportunity for the young scientists to present their work and to interact with leading researchers in the field. There is the potential for the development of future international collaborations to emerge from this workshop.
