Mesoscopic physics has made great strides in the last few years.
It is an area of research that is attractive to many graduate
students of theoretical condensed matter physics. The techniques
that are needed to understand it go beyond the conventional
perturbative approaches that still form the bulk of the graduate
lectures that are given to students. Even when the non-perturbative
techniques are presented, they often are presented within an
abstract context. It is important to have lectures given by experts
in the field, which present both theory and experiment in an
illuminating and inspiring way, so that the impact of new
methodology on novel physics is clear. It is an apt time to have
such a volume since the field has reached a level of maturity. The
pedagogical nature of the articles and the variety of topics makes
it an important resource for newcomers to the field. The topics
range from the newly emerging area of quantum computers and quantum
information using Josephson junctions to the formal mathematical
methods of conformal field theory which are applied to the
understanding of Luttinger liquids.
Electrons which interact strongly can give rise to non-trivial
ground states such as superconductivity, quantum Hall states and
magnetism. Both their theory and application are discussed in a
pedagogical way for quantum information in mesoscopic
superconducting devices, skyrmions and magnetism in two dimensional
electron gases, transport in quantum wires, metal-insulator
transitions and spin electronics.
