PREFACE
The Workshop on Harmonic Oscillators was held at the College Park
Campus of the University of Maryland on March 25 28, 1992. This
Workshop was mostly supported by the Goddard Space Flight Center of
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The harmonic oscillator formalism has been and still is playing an
important role in many branches of physics. This is the simplest
mathematical device which can connect the basic principle of physics
with what we observe in the real world. The oscillator formalism is,
therefore, a very useful language in establishing communications among
(1) The physicists interested in fundamental principles and those
interested in describing what we observe in laboratories.
(2) Researchers in different branches of physics, such as atomic,
nuclear and particle physics, quantum optics, statistical and
thermal physics, foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum
field theory, and group representations for possible future theories.
The Workshop brought together active researchers in harmonic
oscillators in many different fields, and provided the opportunity for them
to learn new ideas and techniques from their colleagues in the fields of
specialization different from their own.
The Second International Workshop on Harmonic Oscillators will be
held in Mexico in 1993. The Principal Organizer for this important
meeting will be Kurt Bernardo Wolf of the Universidad Nacional
Autonoma de Mexico.
