European TMR Network on
Quantum Structures (QSTRUCT)
Contract Number FMRX - CT96 - 0077
Welcome to the homepage of the QSTRUCT TMR network. The network activities started
on 1 September 1996 and finished on 31 August 2001 after one year extension. Details of the
achievements can be found here in the section 'Objectives and Achievements' and in the final
report which is available in PostScript and
PDF form (see section QSTRUCT reports). Related work is now continuing in the IST
network QUANTIM. For further information, please, see the
QUANTIM web page.
The aim of the QSTRUCT network was to comprehensively investigate quantum features
of self-organising systems and trapped ions. This incorporates quantum correlations in optical
patterns and in ordered arrays of ions and atoms. The programme of work is funded by the
Training and Mobility of Researchers (TMR)
scheme and comprises seven European research groups over a period of four years (plus one
extension year) beginning 1 September, 1996.

QSTRUCT REPORTS
Since the size of the QSTRUCT reports is growing exponentially,
the files below are gzipped postscript files. If you do not have
an automatic gunzipper and postscript viewer on your browser, just
click on the wanted report while holding the "Shift" key of your
computer. This will transfer the gzipped postscript file on your
computer that you can then gunzip and read at your pleasure.
