چکیده
This paper summarizes the recent state of the art of the following topics presented at the FQMT'04 conference: Quantum , mesoscopic and (partly) classical thermodynamics; Quantum limits to the second law of thermodynamics; Quantum measurement; Quantum decoherence and dephasing; Mesoscopic and nano-electro-mechanical systems; Classical molecular motors, ratchet systems and rectified motion; Quantum Brownian motion and Quantum motors; Physics of quantum computing ; and Relevant experiments from the nanoscale to the macroscale. To all these subjects an introduction is given and the recent literature is broadly overviewed. The paper contains some 450 references in total. Introduction The recent advancement of technology has enabled very sensitive experiments on natural and artificially prepared systems of molecular sizes. The possibility to shape such experiments provides many challenges from the point of view of understanding of basic concepts of physics related to these systems and development of methods for their description. There are two essential differences between these " mesoscopic " systems we have in mind here, and large extended systems, such as crystals, described by the common thermodynamics and statistical physics theory. First of all, the typical " mesoscopic " system is of the intermediate size range between microscopic and

متن کاملThe First International Conference on Hard and Electromagnetic Probes in Relativistic Nuclear Collisions
This is an attempt to summarize the theoretical talks given at the First International Conference ”Hard Probes ’04”, dedicated to the study of the properties of quark-gluon matter and its diagnostics with the hard processes. The talk covers the following topics: the structure of quark-gluon matter at finite temperature; the theory of nuclear wave functions at small Bjorken x; the propagation of...
