This conference will deal with quantum transport and quantum communication and is intended to be a natural continuation of a series of smaller workshops initiated in 2004 which have created strong ties between five European centres: Aalborg, Berlin, Bucharest, Dublin and Marseille.

Topics will range among nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, physical aspects of quantum communication, spectral theory of interacting fermionic systems, density functional theory, singular perturbation theory, and enhanced excitonic effects in nanoscopic systems. The ultimate goal is a better theoretical understanding of various transport coefficients which can be measured in experiments.

The talks will cover five main topics, each with roughly four invited speakers:

1. Transport in open quantum systems, organized by Jan Derezinski, Claude-Alain Pillet;

2. Modeling of semiconductor devices, organized by Gheorghe Nenciu, Valentin Zagrebnov;

3. Quantum transport in disordered systems, organized by Francois Germinet;

4. Spectral analysis with applications in nanophysics and quantum communication, organized by Pavel Exner, Pierre Duclos.

5. Interplay between theory and experiment, organized by Yosi Avron.

Local organizing committee: Horia Cornean, Arne Jensen and Nicola Marchetti .
