Basil Hiley Memorial Symposium

Where:  

Room 505 Mathematics Dept at University College London

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.
