B ) allowed this to become a reality; it was a real pleasure for us to serve as guest editors. Unlike a conventional conference proceedings, this special issue has not been restricted to participants of the 'Rydberg physics' conference, and all the original papers contained in it have been peer-reviewed to the usual high standards of J. Phys. B The variety and integrated discussion on the physics of Rydberg systems during the 'Rydberg physics' conference is reflected in the papers presented here. We have tried to group the papers according to the subject areas which are addressed. The first part of this special issue is devoted to high-resolution spectroscopy revealing deeper insights into the structure of Rydberg atoms and molecules as well as electronic interaction processes. The second part contains experimental and theoretical investigations on the influence of external static and oscillatory fields on Rydberg atoms. The third part takes account of the newly established field of ultracold Rydberg gases and plasmas with special emphasis on the appearance of ultralong-range interactions in these systems. Finally, the issue is concluded by articles on new developments including 'exotic' Rydberg systems.

Extractions: Chaos comes to light in asymmetric microlasers, making them a thousand times more powerful In the June 5, 1998 cover story of "Science", researchers from the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden/Germany, Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and Lucent Technologies' Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, report on an innovative laser design which relies on the presence of chaotic light rays inside a resonator with a cross section close to the width of a human hair. At roughly 0.05 millimeter diameter, the tiny cylinders made of semiconductor material are among the smallest ever made, belonging to a class of microlasers that have been pioneered by Sam McCall, Richard Slusher and coworkers at Bell Labs in the early Nineties. Already, larger semiconductor lasers are at the heart of numerous everyday items, such as CD players. The key difference between these conventional devices and the microlaser lies in the shape: to create the perfectly synchronized photons that make laser light so special, a resonator has to be formed by trapping the light. The early pioneering microresonators consisted of perfectly round disks that can store light in wavefronts circulating around the rim - squeezed toward the edge like the passengers of a runaway merry-go-round, but nonetheless caught for great lengths of time. Capasso, head of the Semiconductor Physics Research department, and Faist had earlier invented the quantum-cascade laser, a fundamentally new type of laser that operates like an electronic waterfall. Multiple layers Gallium-Indium-Arsenide and Aluminum-Indium-Arsenide are stacked on top of each other with atomic precision in such a way that mid-infrared light is generated when an electric current passes through this semiconductor sandwich. The recent breakthrough came when this technology was combined with the notion of asymmetric resonant cavities

Extractions: Courses The Physics Department is a young department with exceptional strength in several areas. We invite applications from able students interested in experimental and theoretical surface physics and condensed matter physics; in experimental modern optics; in q uantum gravity, quantum field theory, cosmology, and relativistic astrophysics; and in physics teaching at a high-school or college level. The primary goal of our graduate education is the training of creative research scientists. Our research in gravitational physics is in several areas: In gravitational-wave astronomy, we play a leading role in the development for LIGO of templates to extract signals of gravitational-waves from the coalescence of binary neutron stars and from th e stochastic background. In early cosmology, recent work includes renormalization methods to investigate inflationary models. In the quantum arena, work involves black-hole evaporation and information loss, and quantization of microscopic topological stru ctures. In relativistic astrophysics we have established limits on the spin and mass of rotating neutron stars. Work in nuclear physics and particle physics includes a study incorporating gluon exchange and quark confining interactions into relativistic bound-state equations, and a study of production mechanisms for the Higgs boson and related intermediate mass bosons.
News From ICTP 94 - Features - Chaos What s so special about chaos and why does it deserve such extensive and that are driving chaos researchnotably mathematics and theoretical physics. http://www.ictp.trieste.it/~sci_info/News_from_ICTP/News_94/features_chaos.html
Extractions: An increasing number of scientists are discovering that order has always been embedded within chaotic systems. We just haven't been able to uncover the underlying patternsuntil now. Chaos Rules C haos again took centre stage at ICTP this summer. But in typical ICTP fashion the event was meticulously organised. Later Kevin Cuomo and Alan Oppenheim showed that it was possible to encode messages within a noise-like chaotic signal. While this work raised hopes for a new system of secure communications, Gabriel A. Perez and Hilda Cerdeira at ICTP showed that the underlying structure of low-dimensional chaotic systems could be used by an eavesdropper to decode an encrypted message.
Extractions: The Information Resources Administration Group coordinates the selection, acquisition, and management of information resources. The group is responsible for the allocation and management of the budget for information resources and for the negotiation and management of licenses and contracts for information resources. Management of information resources also includes the development and maintenance of the LOUIS database of holdings and the maintenance of the knowledge bases in SFX and METALIB. The Group processes and preserves physical collections and plans for efficient use of onsite storage. The Group is responsible for analysis of the use of LTS information resources and critical evaluation of existing collections.

Faculty of Science Although physics is typically regarded as a hard science and may often be kept at a respectful distance, physics is in fact, basically a study to understand the laws of nature from our own experiences. All things are a part of nature, therefore the objectives of physics cover a variety of subjects: from micro elementary particles, to the gigantic universe; from solid materials, to living beings. Physics consists of many research fields and each research field contains a wide variety of subjects. Our department covers a large portion of all the research fields; very active researches are made in each of the areas in which we are involved. We have three divisions in the Department of Physics and we offer 9 programs that combine both teaching and individual research projects. Both research in the Graduate School, and Laboratory study subjects are based on these 9 fields, which are the following: Elementary Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics, Astrophysics, High Energy Physics/Particle Astrophysics, Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics (Strongly Correlated Electron Systems, Nanoscience, and Statistical Physics), and Experimental Condensed Matter Physics (Physics on Correlated Electrons and Photo-Physics/Quantum Transport). Everyone who wants to study Physics has to have a wide range of knowledge of the fundamental laws of Nature, the essences of our experiences. To secure this, we provide a variety of lectures and experiments about basic theories and relevant phenomena for freshman, sophomore, and also junior students. Advanced lectures and lectures for specified fields are given for junior and senior students. At senior, students learn and experience the way of research in Physics through laboratory studies given by each professor. Graduate School provides advanced knowledge and actual opportunity to do research in each field.
