The goal of the 8th International Symposium on Foundations of Quantum Mechanics in the Light of New Technology was to link recent advances in technology with fundamental problems and issues in quantum mechanics with an emphasis on quantum coherence, decoherence, and geometrical phase. The papers collected in this volume cover a wide range of quantum physics, including quantum information and entanglement, quantum computing, quantum-dot systems, the anomalous Hall effect and the spin-Hall effect, spin related phenomena, superconductivity in nano-systems, precise measurements, and fundamental...

Covers the proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Foundations of Quantum Mechanics in the Light of New Technology (ISQM-TOKYO'08) which aims to link the advances in technology with fundamental problems in quantum mechanics. This work is suitable for experts on quantum coherence and decoherence.
