The 4th School of Mesoscopic Physics

The 4th School of Mesoscopic Physics & The 28th Workshop on Mesoscopic and Nanoscale Systems

"Frontiers in Quantum Devices (Topological Insulator, Majorana Fermion, and electron quantum optics) "
August 24(Mon)-26(Wed), 2015 / August 24(Mon)-28(Fri), 2015
POSCO International Center (PIC), POSTECH

Program for the School (24th ~26th, August, 2015)
The introductory lectures on recent issues in mesoscopic physics (Topological Insulator, Majorana Fermion, Qubit, and Electron quantum optics) will be given by experts in the fields (Lectures will be given in Korean). Each subject will be covered by two lectures (75 minutes) 
and discussion time will be given between lectures.
