Announcement
We are pleased to announce that 'Hong Kong Forum of Physics 2008: Quantum Matter and Quantum Simulation' will be held at the University of Hong Kong, Dec. 13-15, 2008.
Hong Kong Forum has been held annually in recent years. In this Forum, we will focus on quantum matter and quantum simulation and to cover a number of frontier topics including high temperature superconducting cuprates and iron pnictides, quantum magnetism, graphene, and recent developments on quantum simulations and their advances to our physics understanding. The Forum will bring several dozen of the active physicists from the US, Europe, mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and other places to Hong Kong to discuss these frontier issues in physics with the local physicists in Hong Kong. There will be tens of students or postdocs to participate in the Forum. We hope this Forum will promote collaborations among the physicists in Asia and in the West, and hope this Forum will also present to young physicists interesting and exciting research directions based on the intellectual merit.
There will be a ceremony event to award the Daniel Tsui Fellowship, sponsored by Center of Theoretical and Computational Physics and the Department of Physics at the University of Hong Kong, in honor of the Center's Honorary Director, Nobel laureate Prof. Daniel Tsui.
You are welcome to apply for the participation of the Forum. More information including the registration can be found on the website http://www.physics.hku.hk/~ctcp/HKForum08/Registration.htm, and you may contact with the Forum secretary, Ms. Anna Wong at annaylw@hkucc.hku.hk for further information.
