Scientific Overview
In many important applications (such as ultra integrated solid state
devices, or other applications in nanoscience) so called open quantum
systems occur, which model the interaction of the particles not only with
each other
(electrostatically) but also with their environment. Typical questions that
occur are existence of steady states, convergence to equilibria, and speed
of convergence, which in some cases can be dealt with by exploiting the
mathematical properties of the quantum entropy.
Another important topic of the meeting is going to be the application of
optimal mass transportation techniques to linear and nonlinear Schrödinger
equations.
