This volume is a collection of papers from the third meeting of the international symposium on mesoscopic superconductivity and spintronics. Research on quantum information technology has advanced a great deal since the previous meeting. Mesoscopic physics, such as spins in nanoscale semiconductor structures, micro-fabricated superconducting junctions and extraordinary metal contacts have now been not only theoretically but also experimentally established as important solid-state elements of quantum information devices. The book also contains some papers on information theory from the...

A collection of research reports on mesoscopic superconductivity and spintronics. The former includes superconductor-semiconductor hybrid systems and very small Josephson junctions, and the latter includes the control of spin transports in semiconductor heterostructures and spin injections.
