Experimental progress over the past few years has made it possible to test a n- ber of fundamental physical concepts related to the motion of electrons in low dimensions. The production and experimental control of novel structures with typical sizes in the sub-micrometer regime has now become possible. In parti- lar, semiconductors are widely used in order to con?ne the motion of electrons in two-dimensional heterostructures. The quantum Hall e?ect was one of the ?rst highlights of the new physics that is revealed by this con?nement. In a further step of the technological development in...

Quantum many-body theory as a discipline in its own right dates largely from the 1950s. It has developed since then to its current position as one of the cornerstones of modern theoretical physics. The field's most powerful techniques are truly universal. They are constantly expanding to find new fields of application, while advances continue to be made in the more traditional areas. To commemorate the impending 80th birthdays of its two co-inventors, Fritz Coester and Hermann Kummel, one such technique, namely the coupled cluster method, was especially highlighted at the 11th in the series...
