The Impact of 100 Years of Quantum Fluids: Present and Future Directions
| Date: | Thu, 3 July 2008 |

Introduction
This one-day meeting acknowledges the centenary of the liquefaction of helium.
The liquefaction of helium has revolutionised physics, and the impact of the availability of quantum liquids is difficult to overstate. We have discovered new coherent states of matter: superconductivity, superfluidity, and Bose-Einstein and Fermionic condensates in cold gases. It has brought to existence the huge range of quantum phenomena observed in a variety of systems: crystallization waves, quantum turbulence, quantum criticalities and quantum computing. Today advances in cryogenic technology permit us to carry out research just a glimpse away from the absolute zero of temperature. The conference will host talks on the current frontiers and future visions of low temperature science and technology.
The Low Temperature Group of the Institute of Physics will hold its Annual General Meeting during this conference.

Oral and Poster Contributions
Further 15 minute oral contributions and poster presentations are invited. Organisers strongly support involvement of the PhD students and young researchers in the oral contributions. Please send your contributed abstract to Dawn Stewart by email by Wednesday 23 April 2008 the latest, in Microsoft Word, stating your preference for an oral or poster presentation.
Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words in length and may include up to three references; figures are not permitted.
Registrations details will follow shortly.
