Nominator's project description

Professor Leonid Glazman is a leading theoretician in the field of mesoscopic physics and the study of quantum phenomena in low-dimenisonal systems of interacting electrons. His pioneering theories of conductance quantization of ballistic point contacts, and of the electrostatic structure of the edges in quantum Hall effect devices, are by now textbook material. His more recent work on quantum dots, Kondo physics and Luttinger liquids, will be focus of cooperations with experimental and theoretical groups in Stuttgart and Munich.
