  The purpose of the conference (the fourth in the series of Vaxjo conferences)
was to bring together scientists (physicists, mathematicians and philosophers)
who are interested in foundations of quantum physics. An emphasis was made on
both theory and experiment, the underlying objective being to offer to the
physical, mathematical and philosophic communities a truly interdisciplinary
conference as a privileged place for a scientific interaction. Due to the
actual increased role of foundations in the development of quantum information
theory as well as the necessity to reconsider foundations at the beginning of
the new millennium, the organizers of the conference decided that it was just
the right time for taking the scientific risk of trying this.
