Aim of workshop
The aim of the workshop is to report on the recent theoretical results on the macroscopic quantum coherence of macroscopic systems.Particular attention will be given to the coherence effects in Josephson systems. The correlation with other atomic and molecular systems, exhibiting a macroscopic quantum coherence behaviour, is also discussed. Such proposals will be considered for implementation of various schemes for coherent information processing and quantum computation.
