Quantum chaos: fundamentals and applications
Session Workshop I (W1), March 14 - 21, 2015

Workshop Organizers:
Rodolfo Jalabert (Strasbourg), Dima Shepelyansky (Toulouse), Denis Ullmo (Orsay)
Secretary: Malika Bentour

Scope: The field of Quantum Chaos, addressing the quantum manifestations of an underlying classically chaotic dynamics, has been mainly developed from a theoretical perspective, and for some times, its main testing grounds of have been the Rydberg atoms, the microwave billiards, the ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices, and the low-temperature transport in mesoscopic semiconductor structures. Recently, concepts developed within field of Quantum Chaos have found applications in new domains, within physics and at its interfaces. This has led to important advances concerning the fundamentals and the applications of Quantum Chaos. This workshop aims at gathering the leading researchers of the field to foster exchange and discussion of the latest developments in the subject.
Workshop will be a meeting place of quantum chaos community.

Topics: Quantum interference in many-body systems, Wave chaos an nonlinear effects in disordered systems, Non-Hermitian matrices and random matrix theory developments, Recent developments in semiclassical theory, Applications of chaos assisted tunneling, Matrix applications for economy, Google matrix of directed networks, Transport in mesoscopic systems, Cold atoms in optical lattices, Interactions and Anderson localization, Spatial correlations of wave-functions in classically chaotic systems.
