This series was initiated in Trieste (Italy) in 1979. It covers a broad spectrum of current research in physics that benefits from the application of many-body theories. A main emphasis is the development and refinement of microscopic many-body methods. However,  this is interpreted broadly and important applications of many-body theory and subjects with a bona-fide many-body component are included. A major aim of the conference series is to foster the exchange of ideas among physicists working in such diverse areas as nuclear and sub-nuclear physics, quantum chemistry, complex systems, lattice Hamiltonians, quantum fluids and condensed matter physics. Given the recent developments in quantum information and computation, and cold trapped atom physics, we are including them as new sub-fields.

THE EUGENE FEENBERG MEMORIAL MEDAL:

2004 Recipients 

Spartak T. Belyaev

Lev P. Gor'kov

    The Eugene Feenberg Medal is awarded under the auspices of the International Advisory Committee of the series of International Conferences on Recent Progress in Many-Body Theories. The official ceremony for the award is held during the course of the conference. The Feenberg Medal is normally awarded for work which is firmly established and which can be demonstrated to have significantly advanced the field of many-body physics.

Recipients include David Pines (1985), John W. Clark (1987), Malvin H. Kalos (1989), Walter Kohn (1991, 1998 Nobel laureate),    David M. Ceperley (1994), and Lev P. Pitaevskii (1997), Anthony J. Leggett (1999, 2003 Nobel laureate), Philippe Nozieres (2001).
