Aim and topics:

Separation of scales plays a fundamental role in the understanding of complex systems. In the context of quantum mechanics, recent progresses in multiscale analysis and numerical simulation shed new light on the dynamics in mesoscopic systems and nanostructures. The workshop aims to review the state of the art in the subject and to create deeper contacts between mathematicians and other scientific communities, involving leading experts in solid state physics, nanophysics, numerical modeling and microelectronics.

Among the topics covered:

• multiscale and semiclassical analysis of quantum systems,
• mathematical and numerical modeling of nanodevices,
• electron transport in semiconductors,
• multiscale approaches to quantum decoherence,
• geometric structures in meso- and nanophysics.
