Workshop on Stochastics and Quantum Physics

Thursday 21 October - Tuesday 26 October, 1999

Aud. G1/G2, Department of Mathematical Sciences
University of Aarhus

The Workshop focussed on some of the areas where concepts and techniques from Stochastics (i.e. Probability and Mathematical Statistics) are, or seem likely soon to become, of real quantum physical importance.

By bringing together leading physicists and mathematicians, having an active interest in the themes of the Workshop, it was sought to foster fruitful discussions and collaboration on the role and use of Stochastics in Quantum Physics.
