Preliminary program for the ICAM Workshop

Quantum Criticality

Columbia University, New York
 20th-23rd March 2003

Department of Physics,  Pupin Hall, Broadway & W 120 St, Room 301.

 

The scientific sessions of the workshop will be held at the Columbia University Physics Department, in room 301, Pupin Hall, at the corner of Broadway and W 120St.  For parking. We regret that we will be unable to hold a poster session.  The scientific sessions of the workshop consist of one plenary session with three 45 min talks, regular 25 min. scientific talks by experimentalists, with the session chaired by discussion leader who will provide a brief introductory overview of the big picture, the issues and controversy surrounding the session..  The general discussion sessions will be highly informal,  centered around 10-15 minute talks, followed by brief 5 or 2 minute responses from the audience. The audience will be encouraged to sign up in advance for the five minute responses. Two minute responses do not require advance signing up. The speakers will have up to 2 minutes to respond to all comments.
