Dedicated to Hermann Hartmann on the Occasion of his 100th Birthday
The Frankfurt Workshop on "Quantum and Classical Complexity: From Atoms to Biosystems" is to be held from 5-7 May 2014 (Monday morning to Wednesday afternoon) at the "Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften" located in Bad Homburg (near Frankfurt).
A focus will be placed on the role of quantum vs. classical complexity, entanglement and decoherence in high-dimensional, structured systems. The workshop will serve as an interdisciplinary discussion forum for participants from different background, including chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics.
