Summary
Finite Quantal systems on the nano-scale have gained interest in recent years as they exhibit a high potential for employing quantum electronics in technology. Such innovations, however, clearly require a profound expansion of basic theoretical understanding of many-body effects in quantum mechanics. This is the primary concern of this programme. The long-term vision is to employ quantum physics for engineering applications. The quantum control of complex many-body systems and artificial creation of atom-like device strucures is a major challenge, drawing the technological road-map for the new millennium.
