All checks and money orders are to be made payable to U.C. Regents. Please send completed registration forms to Dorene Sexton Iverson as indicated below. Also, if you are outside the United States and would like an exception to pay the registration fee at the conference desk, please contact Dorene Sexton Iverson for assistance. After that date rooms MAY BE available to you on a space available basis at their regular rate. The Santa Barbara area has a large tourist population and it is imperative that you make your reservations early.
Information regarding alternative hotels is available upon request.
Among the fundamental issues are the role of quantum fluctuations and strong electron correlations, the quantum-classical crossover, and the gradual buildup of macroscopic behavior. Novel material properties and unexpected device applications are emerging as well. Connections are developing with previously distinct branches of physics, such as quantum optics and quantum measurement theory. The Nanoscience Conference will highlight some of the very recent theoretical and experimental developments in this exciting field. It is organized at the beginning of a four-month ITP program devoted to physics on the nanoscale.
