Prof. Dr Thomas Schmidt, Professor of Physics at the University of Luxembourg, will hold his inaugural lecture on 'Mesoscopic Systems - A Useful Bridge between Classical and Quantum Physics' on Thursday 4 February 2016 at 18.00.
In his presentation, he will give an introduction to mesoscopic systems and describe recent theoretical and experimental advances in this field. Mesoscopic systems, with sizes between several nanometers and micrometers, offer a unique testbed which spans between quantum mechanics, which governs the behavior of atoms and molecules, and classical physics, which describes the motion of everyday objects. They allow to study how classical behavior can emerge from the laws of quantum mechanics. In addition, these systems are becoming increasingly important for different applications, like in nano-electronics for example.
The lecture will take place at the University of Luxembourg on Limpertsberg Campus, Salle Tavenas, 102a, avenue Pasteur, 2311 Luxembourg.
