Summary on Grant Application Form
The proposed Summer School is designed for PhD students (in years 2-4) and junior postdoctoral researchers will address raising fundamental issues related to quantum physics discovered in new low-dimensional materials: graphene, topological insulators, heterostructures of transition metal oxide compounds, and in pnictide superconductors. The School will also review the state of the art in the development of spin qubits and superconducting qubits, in semiconductor photonics, and in nanomechanical systems. Reviews of the experimental discoveries and technological advancements will be complemented by lecture courses on theoretical techniques relevant for the further studies of quantum phenomena and strong correlations in low-dimensional systems/materials and nanostructures. The School will take place 9-21 August, 2010.
