ULT2008; Frontiers of Low Temperature Physics

应国际社会的要求，我们正在组织“低温物理前沿”会议ULT2008。会议将于2008年8月14日至17日在伦敦皇家霍洛威大学举行。它是第25届国际低温物理会议的卫星，该会议是三年一度的LT系列会议的一部分，今年将于8月6日至13日在阿姆斯特丹举行。作为其计划的一部分，LT25将庆祝莱顿首次液化氦气100周年。ULT2008将专注于接近绝对零度的科学和技术，在毫开尔文和微开尔文的温度范围内。它将汇集一个多元化的社区，包括国际领先的研究人员、早期职业研究人员和从事该领域实验和理论研究的研究生。除全体口头会议外，一系列重点研讨会将探讨尚未解决的问题和新兴领域。这些包括：量子物质和量子临界，从强相关电子系统到氦，物质的新超固态；建立宇宙模型并在实验室中检验宇宙学理论；纳米力学谐振器、量子力学控制的力学系统及其应用；低温下纳米结构中的量子输运；对氦液体中量子湍流的研究和可视化，试图解开湍流的秘密。会议的结构将促进讨论和互动；促进新概念、新技术和新方法的交流；鼓励新的协同效应和发展新的研究机会。

We are organising the conference ULT2008, Frontiers of Low Temperature Physics at the request of the international community. The meeting will be held at Royal Holloway University of London, August 14-17, 2008. It is a satellite of the 25th International Conference in Low Temperature Physics, part of the triennial LT series, which this year is being held in Amsterdam August 6-13. As part of its programme, LT25 will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first liquefaction of helium in Leiden. ULT2008 will focus on science and technology near absolute zero, in the milliKelvin and microKelvin temperature regime. It will bring together a diverse community of internationally leading researchers, early career researchers and graduates students engaged in experimental and theoretical research in this area. Alongside plenary oral sessions, a series of focussed workshops will explore unresolved questions and emerging areas. These include: quantum matter and quantum criticality from strongly correlated electron systems to helium, the new supersolid state of matter; modelling the universe and testing cosmological theories in the laboratory; nanomechanical resonators, mechanical systems governed by quantum mechanics and their applications; quantum transport in nanostructures at low mK temperatures; the study and visualisation of quantum turbulence in helium liquids, in an attempt to unlock the secrets of turbulent flow.The meeting will be structured to promote discussion and interaction; to foster the exchange of new concepts, new techniques and methods; to encourage new synergies and develop new research opportunities.
