Quantum fluctuations are present in many domains of physics. In
recent years, there has been significant progress in the
theoretical and experimental study of these fluctuations, in
optics, electronics, atomic physics, metrology, relativity and
cosmology. Quantum fluctuations are now observed and measured in
experiments and also modified and manipulated using elaborate
techniques. These proceedings bring together young scientists who
together examine new techniques and the latest research in the
field.

Among the topics covered are: the methods used to treat quantum
fluctuations in optical systems; the recent development of the
quantum stochastic methods; the interaction of light with nonlinear
materials; the generation of sub-Poisson photon statistics in
lasers through the pumping mechanism; the problem of measurement of
electromagnetic fields; the problems of instabilities, turbulence
and chaos; the analysis of phenomena related to gravity, inertia
and cosmology.
