ABSTRACT = {A relatively new class of materials has been found
in which the basic assumption of Landau Fermi-liquid
theory?that at low energies the electrons in a metal
should behave essentially as a collection of weakly
interacting particles?is violated. These
"non-Fermi-liquid" systems exhibit unusual
temperature dependences in their low-temperature
properties, including several examples in which the
specific heat divided by temperature shows a
singular log T temperature dependence over more than
two orders of magnitude, from the lowest measured
temperatures in the milliKelvin regime to
temperatures over 10 K. These anomalous properties,
with their often pure power-law or logarithmic
temperature dependences over broad temperature
ranges and inherent low characteristic energies,
have attracted active theoretical interest from the
first experimental report in 1991. This article
first describes the various theoretical approaches
to trying to understand the source of strong
temperature- and frequency-dependent
electron-electron interactions in non-Fermi-liquid
systems. It then discusses the current experimental
body of knowledge, including a compilation of data
on non-Fermi-liquid behavior in over 50 systems. The
disparate data reveal some interesting correlations
and trends and serve to point up a number of areas
where further theoretical and experimental work is
needed. ©2001 The American Physical Society}

ABSTRACT = {We discuss replica symmetry breaking (RSB) in spin
glasses. We update work in this area, from both the
analytical and numerical points of view. We give
particular attention to the difficulties stressed by
Newman and Stein concerning the problem of
constructing pure states in spin glass systems. We
mainly discuss what happens in finite-dimensional,
realistic spin glasses. Together with a detailed
review of some of the most important features,
facts, data, and phenomena, we present some new
theoretical ideas and numerical results. We discuss
among others the basic idea of the RSB theory,
correlation functions, interfaces, overlaps, pure
states, random field, and the dynamical approach. We
present new numerical results for the behaviors of
coupled replicas and about the numerical
verification of sum rules, and we review some of the
available numerical results that we consider of
larger importance (for example, the determination of
the phase transition point, the correlation
functions, the window overlaps, and the dynamical
behavior of the system).},

ABSTRACT = {A longstanding goal in chemical physics has been the
control of atoms and molecules using coherent light
fields. This paper provides a brief overview of the
field and discusses experiments that use a
programmable pulse shaper to control the quantum
state of electronic wavepackets in Rydberg atoms and
electronic and nuclear dynamics in molecular
liquids. The shape of Rydberg wavepackets was
controlled by using tailored ultrafast pulses to
excite a beam of caesium atoms. The quantum state of
these atoms was measured using holographic
techniques borrowed from optics. The experiments
with molecular liquids involved the construction of
an automated learning machine. A genetic algorithm
directed the choice of shaped pulses which
interacted with the molecular system inside a
learning control loop. Analysis of successful pulse
shapes that were found by using the genetic
algorithm yield insight into the systems being
controlled. }

ABSTRACT = {The subject of quantum computing brings together
ideas from classical information theory, computer
science, and quantum physics. This review aims to
summarize not just quantum computing, but the whole
subject of quantum information theory. Information
can be identified as the most general thing which
must propagate from a cause to an effect. It
therefore has a fundamentally important role in the
science of physics. However, the mathematical
treatment of information, especially information
processing, is quite recent, dating from the
mid-20th century. This has meant that the full
significance of information as a basic concept in
physics is only now being discovered. This is
especially true in quantum mechanics. The theory of
quantum information and computing puts this
significance on a firm footing, and has led to some
profound and exciting new insights into the natural
world. Among these are the use of quantum states to
permit the secure transmission of classical
information (quantum cryptography), the use of
quantum entanglement to permit reliable transmission
of quantum states (teleportation), the possibility
of preserving quantum coherence in the presence of
irreversible noise processes (quantum error
correction), and the use of controlled quantum
evolution for efficient computation (quantum
computation). The common theme of all these insights
is the use of quantum entanglement as a
computational resource. It turns out that
information theory and quantum mechanics fit
together very well. In order to explain their
relationship, this review begins with an
introduction to classical information theory and
computer science, including Shannon's theorem, error
correcting codes, Turing machines and computational
complexity. The principles of quantum mechanics are
then outlined, and the Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen
(EPR) experiment described. The EPR-Bell
correlations, and quantum entanglement in general,
form the essential new ingredient which
distinguishes quantum from classical information
theory and, arguably, quantum from classical
physics. Basic quantum information ideas are next
outlined, including qubits and data compression,
quantum gates, the `no cloning' property and
teleportation. Quantum cryptography is briefly
sketched. The universal quantum computer (QC) is
described, based on the Church-Turing principle and
a network model of computation. Algorithms for such
a computer are discussed, especially those for
finding the period of a function, and searching a
random list. Such algorithms prove that a QC of
sufficiently precise construction is not only
fundamentally different from any computer which can
only manipulate classical information, but can
compute a small class of functions with greater
efficiency. This implies that some important
computational tasks are impossible for any device
apart from a QC. To build a universal QC is well
beyond the abilities of current technology. However,
the principles of quantum information physics can be
tested on smaller devices. The current experimental
situation is reviewed, with emphasis on the linear
ion trap, high-Q optical cavities, and nuclear
magnetic resonance methods. These allow coherent
control in a Hilbert space of eight dimensions
(three qubits) and should be extendable up to a
thousand or more dimensions (10 qubits). Among other
things, these systems will allow the feasibility of
quantum computing to be assessed. In fact such
experiments are so difficult that it seemed likely
until recently that a practically useful QC
(requiring, say, 1000 qubits) was actually ruled out
by considerations of experimental imprecision and
the unavoidable coupling between any system and its
environment. However, a further fundamental part of
quantum information physics provides a solution to
this impasse. This is quantum error correction
(QEC). An introduction to QEC is provided. The
evolution of the QC is restricted to a carefully
chosen subspace of its Hilbert space. Errors are
almost certain to cause a departure from this
subspace. QEC provides a means to detect and undo
such departures without upsetting the quantum
computation. This achieves the apparently
impossible, since the computation preserves quantum
coherence even though during its course all the
qubits in the computer will have relaxed
spontaneously many times. The review concludes with
an outline of the main features of quantum
information physics and avenues for future
research.}

ABSTRACT = {In this article we review the framework for
spontaneous replica symmetry breaking. Subsequently
that is applied to the example of the statistical
mechanical description of the storage properties of
a McCulloch¯ Pitts neuron, i.e., simple
perceptron. It is shown that in the neuron problem,
the general formula that is at the core of all
problems admitting Parisi's replica symmetry
breaking ansatz with a one-component order parameter
appears. The details of Parisi's method are reviewed
extensively, with regard to the wide range of
systems where the method may be applied. Parisi's
partial differential equation and related
differential equations are discussed, and the Green
function technique is introduced for the calculation
of replica averages, the key to determining the
averages of physical quantities. The Green function
of the Fokker¯Planck equation due to Sompolinsky
turns out to play the role of the statistical
mechanical Green function in the graph rules for
replica correlators. The subsequently obtained graph
rules involve only tree graphs, as appropriate for a
mean-field-like model. The lowest order
Ward¯Takahashi identity is recovered analytically
and shown to lead to the Goldstone modes in
continuous replica symmetry breaking phases. The
need for a replica symmetry breaking theory in the
storage problem of the neuron has arisen due to the
thermodynamical instability of formerly given
solutions. Variational forms for the neuron's free
energy are derived in terms of the order parameter
function x(q), for different prior distribution of
synapses. Analytically in the high temperature limit
and numerically in generic cases various phases are
identified, among them is one similar to the Parisi
phase in long-range interaction spin
glasses. Extensive quantities like the error per
pattern change slightly with respect to the known
unstable solutions, but there is a significant
difference in the distribution of non-extensive
quantities like the synaptic overlaps and the
pattern storage stability parameter. A simulation
result is also reviewed and compared with the
prediction of the theory.},

gauge theories in the fifties. The authors also review the early
history of dimensional reduction, which played an important role in
the development of gauge theory. A description is given of how, in
recent times, the ideas of gauge theory and dimensional reduction
have emerged naturally in the context of string theory and
noncommutative geometry. }

ABSTRACT = {As a result of advances in experimental and
theoretical physics, many interesting problems have
arisen in condensed-matter physics, typically as a
result of the quantum-mechanical nature of a system.
Areas of interest include Anderson localization,
universal conductance fluctuations, normal electron
persistent currents, and the properties of
quasicrystals. Understanding such systems is
challenging because of complications arising from the
large number of particles involved, intractable
symmetries, the presence of time-dependent or nonlinear
terms in the Schr\"odinger equation, etc. Some progress
has been made by studying large scale classical analog
experiments which may accurately model the salient
quantum-mechanical features of a condensed-matter
system. This paper describes research with a number of
acoustical systems which have addressed contemporary
problems in condensed-matter physics.},
