X-th Max Born Symposium
Wroclaw - September 24/25/26/27, 1997
Starting in 1991 the Max Born Symposia have been organized by the Institute
of Theoretical Physics, University of Wroclaw, to commemorate one of the
great men of Quantum Theory, Max Born, born 1883 in Wroclaw, at that time
Breslau, where he also started his studies.
The X-th Max Born Symposium entitled Quantum Future has been
focused on future applications and possible extensions of Quantum Theory
inside and beyond Physics. Today it is without doubt that Quantum Theory
occupies a particular place among all scientific theories with its tremendous
predictive power on the one side and its puzzles and mysteries on the other
side.
The conference has taken place 70 years after the Volta meeting in Como
and the V-th Solvay Conference in Brussels - where the dialogue between
Bohr and Einstein started. One of the main objectives of this Symposium
was to, in this spirit, discuss the alternative approaches to quantum physics
in view of applications to the main experimental fields from the quarks
to the Cosmos as well as beyond Physics.
