Charge density wave (CDW) motion in linear chain metals                         represents the only known example of electronic conduction by a                 moving quantum ground state, apart from superconductivity.  They                believe that this effect constitutes the most important                         unresolved problem in condensed matter physics.  A large body of                experimental evidence now supports the hypothesis that CDW                      acceleration in an electric field proceeds via macroscopic                      quantum tunneling, with phase coherence properities similar to                  the Josephson effect.  Based upon years of previous work, they                  are proposing a program of combined experiment and theory which                 includes the following major element:  (1) control of CDW pinning               through ion bombardment and implantation, (2) direct observation                of CDW structure and motion with their recently constructed                     scanning tunneling microscope, and (3) development of a complete                theory for CDW motion.  This program is designed to elucidate the               microscopic aspects of this remarkable new phenomenon, and to                   simultaneously provide the control of CDW properties that will be               required for future electronic application.
