Exact Results in Low-Dimensional Quantum Systems 2nd INSTANS Summer Conference Florence, September 8 - 12, 2008 in connection with the Galileo Galilei Institute program: Low-dimensional Quantum Field Theories and Applications Florence, September 1 - November 7, 2008

Abstract

The conference is devoted to the application of exact methods of field theory and integrable systems to non-perturbative quantum phenomena in one- and two-dimensional systems.
This event is also the annual meeting of the European Science Foundation Programme INSTANS: Interdisciplinary Statistical and Field Theory Approaches to Nanophysics and Low Dimensional Systems.

Main Topics:
- Correlations and entanglement in lattice models and field theories
- Conformal field theory and topological quantum computation
- Quantum dynamics in mesoscopic systems and cold atoms
- Sigma models on noncompact groups and logarithmic conformal field theory
- Stochastic Loewner evolution

Participation by invitation only; there are no registration fees.
Deadline for registration: June 30, 2008
