The Max Born Symposia started in 1991 and have been held once or twice a year in different places in Lower Silesia. The scientific topics of the Symposia are closely related with front-line research subjects in theoretical physics. This volume deals with new concepts of symmetries in the theory of fundamental intersections as well as integrable dynamical systems.

The central theme of this lecture collection is quantum dynamics, regarded mostly as the dynamics of entanglement and that of decoherence phenomena. Both these concepts appear to refer to the behavior of surprisingly fragile features of quantum systems supposed to model quantum memories and to implement quantum date processing routines. This collection may serve as an essential resource for those interested in both theoretical description and practical applications of fundamentals of quantum mechanics.
