ULT 2008
Frontiers of Low Temperature Physics 14th to 17th of August 2008

Workshop: Nanoscience at low mK temperatures

Workshop on Nanoscience; the ultra-low temperature frontier: Sunday 17th

Organisers: Tjerk Oosterkamp, Andy Sachrajda, Dominik Zumbuhl

The scope of the workshop is to address questions including:

  • Which experiments would benefit from substantially lower phonon/electron temperatures?
  • What new physics can be expected?
  • What kind of temperatures would be necessary and what technical challenges need to be addressed?

Talks will give a description of "where we are now" with a vision of "where we could be", potentially identifying strategic approaches. Potential participants are encouraged to identify further relevant issues.

Confirmed speakers are Mikko Paalanen (Helsinki), Daniel Loss (Basel), G Gervais (McGill), S Valenzuela (MIT), I Rau tbc (Stanford), K Kono (RIKEN)
