Description
American Institute of Physics Quantum Few-Body Systems Proceedings Of The Joint Physics / Mathematics Workshop On Quantum Few-Body Systems 2008 Edition by Jacob S. Moller Dmitri Fedorov
All papers have been peer-reviewed. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together and promote cooperation between theoretical physicists and mathematicians. Half of the talks were presented by mathematicians the other half by physicists with the unifying theme being the field of Quantum few-body systems. The field is conceptually understood as applications of rigorous ab-initio methods to quantum systems consisting of a relatively small number of well-defined constituents and is of interest for both mathematicians and physicists.
