QUANTUM NANOSCIENCE:
     AN OLIPHANT FRONTIERS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE.

Noosa Blue Resort, Noosa, Queensland,

Monday, January 22 to Thursday, January 26, 2006.

The conference is joint initiative of The University of Queensland and the Pacific Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada and is sponsored by the Oliphant Conference Series of The Australian Academy of Science, PiTP and The University of Queensland.

Quantum Nanoscience explains functionality and structure in natural or engineered nanoscale systems through quantum mechanisms such as discretisation, superposition and entanglement. Quantum nanoscience is directed towards breakthrough science for nanotechnologies.

Topics to be covered include:

* Quantum electromechanical systems
* Spintronics and Mesoscopic electronics
* Superconducting devices and circuit QED
* Quantum condensed matter
* Molecular electronics
* Molecular magnets
* Quantum limited transducers
* Quantum control
* Condensed phase organic conductors
* Quantum effects in complex biological systems
