This book presents the essential ideas of coherent states and provides researchers and graduate students with the necessary tools for various applications of generalized coherent state theory. These applications include areas such as quantum information, quantum phase transitions, quantum many-body systems, quantum chaos, and quantum open systems.

At this workshop, there are two pedagogical lectures on heavy quark effective theory and heavy quarkonium, given by B Grinstein and E Braaten. This is followed by eighteen talks addressing recent experimental and theoretical developments on a variety of topics. They include applications of heavy quark effective theory, heavy ion physics, CP violation in kaon and bottom mesons, implications of Higgs particle discovery, rare decays of kaons and pions, and new physics beyond the standard model.

In this volume, recent theoretical and experimental progress in QCD phenomenology, neutrino physics, B physics and CP violation is reviewed.
