This memorial symposium is a celebration of the scientific life and achievements of Basil Hiley who passed away on the 28th of January.
We expect that the variety of speakers and attendants will reflect Basil’s interests and research in the foundations of quantum mechanics. The symposium will cover most aspects of Basil’s work and aspirations through presentations by close colleagues and the next generation of physicists.
Philosophical implications of Basil’s research with David Bohm will be discussed along side the mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics including the algebraic and symplectic approach. Discussions and presentations will also extend to the theoretical and experimental applications of his ideas in atomic and solid state physics.
