Europe/Rome 2022-08-22 08:00:00 2022-09-09 22:00:00 Quantum Dynamics: From Electrons to Qbits | (smr 3733) An ICTP Meeting in presence This School aims to teach a modern course in condensed matter and statistical physics, combining basic concepts with recent structural and interdisciplinary developments, with a special focus on quantum dynamics and out of equilibrium phenomena. The leitmotif of the school will be to bridge traditional methods and approaches developed in the context of strongly correlated electrons, to interdisciplinary concepts and ideas coming from quantum information theory as well as solid state and atomic physics experiments, where individual components are often thought of as qbits. The event is aimed at graduate students and junior researchers, and features a combination of theory and computational courses, as well as seminars on experimental progress in the field. Topics: Statistical Mechanics: from foundations to active matter and quantum information Analytical technique and (quantum) field theory Numerical methods: high-level programming and advanced numerical methods Coherent dynamics: entanglement, decoherence, phase transitions, driven systems, and chaos in many body physics Topological quantum matter: phases, excitations, and diagnostics Physical platforms: cold atoms, trapped ions, nanostructured materials, superconducting circuits Lecturers: S.

Europe/Rome 2022-09-05 08:00:00 2022-09-09 22:00:00 African School on Quantum Simulation and Quantum Information Science (ASQSQIS) | (smr 3686) The aim of this school is to introduce students to advanced quantum mechanics concepts relevant to the growing field of quantum technologies, via a two-fold approach combining theoretical and computational aspects. The first part of the school will feature an introduction to quantum information, computation and simulation. This part will also include a panoramic view of most quantum hardware platforms - atomic, photonic, and solid state. The second part of the school will consist of an introduction to Qutip - an open-source software to simulate quantum systems, as well as several case studies in connection to real- world applications of quantum computing and simulation. Prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is necessary. Prior knowledge of Python is highly recommended. It is also highly recommended that students study about QuTiP (there are tutorials online) before joining the school, and also for the students to bring their laptops, to do practice sessions at the school. The event is aimed at master and graduate students from all over Africa, and will feature a combination of blackboard-style lectures and tutorials on computational techniques.   LECTURERS S.

Europe/Rome 2022-09-12 08:00:00 2022-09-23 22:00:00 Frontiers of Matter Wave Optics School and Conference | (smr 3735) Applications for both the School and the Conference can be submitted by going to "Apply here" on the left side of this web page. Applications for the Conference ONLY can be submitted at this link. Matter-wave interferometry has remarkably advanced with systems as diverse as electrons, neutrons, cold atoms, molecules and nanoparticles. The conference Foundations of Matter-Wave Optics (FOMO) unites world experts in the field to review the state-of-art and to discuss new challenges.            Matter-wave interferometers are essential tools in the exploration of the foundations of physics and have been developed into modern quantum sensors with applications in precision measurements, inertial navigation or geodesy. Since its beginning in 2010, Frontiers of Matter Wave Optics (FOMO) has become the most comprehensive bi-annual conference series in the field of matter-wave science. It combines one week of Summer School (12-16.9) with an international conference (19-23.9.). In 2022 both meetings are hosted by the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste/Italy, which is known for scientific excellence combined with international hospitality and scenic beauty. Contributed talks, poster sessions and excursions provide ample opportunity for discussions. An afternoon session on Sept. 22, will also honor the late Helmut Rauch and the beginnings of neutron matter-wave optics, almost 50 years ago.   Topics: Foundations of matter wave interferometry Matter-wave technologies: electrons, neutrons, atoms, macromolecules, nanoparticles Matter-wave sensors: gravimetry and geodesy Matter-waves in precision metrology: fundamental constants Matter-wave enabled navigation  Tests of quantum physics at the interface to General Relativity & the Classical World Modeling of ultra-cold quantum devices Matter-wave science & industry Lecturers include: B.
