Europe/Rome 2023-01-11 07:00:00 2023-01-13 21:00:00 21th International Workshop on Computational Physics and Materials Science: Total Energy and Force Methods | (smr 3814) An ICTP Meeting in presence This Workshop is held in Trieste every two years, since 1987, and is  devoted to recent advances in condensed matter physics and materials science, based on realistic calculations of the electronic structure of complex systems. The aim is a critical discussion of methods and challenging applications. It has become one of the most popular regular events of the international ab-initio electronic structure community.  This event also has the ambition to reach out to countries where the electronic structure community is not traditionally as strong as in Europe, the USA and Japan, in coherence with the mission of its host institution, the ICTP. The workshop will also include the Award ceremony for the "Walter Kohn prize for quantum mechanical material modeling" (https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/prizes-awards/walter-kohn-prize.aspx), co-funded by ICTP and the Quantum ESPRESSO Foundation.   Topics will span a broad range, including, among others: Spectroscopy Strong electronic correlations Electron-phonon coupling Superconductivity Novel functionals Transport Advanced Materials Materials Discovery Machine Learning Quantum Computing Confirmed speakers: N.

Europe/Rome 2023-03-13 07:00:00 2023-03-24 21:00:00 Conference and Advanced School on Low-Dimensional Quantum Systems | (smr 3820) An ICTP Meeting in presence Low-dimensional quantum systems continue to be an exciting area of research. The frontiers have been continuously pushed forward by fabricating novel materials and developing experimental techniques that provide a gateway for exploring new physics. Examples of such new endeavors include hydrodynamic phenomena in interacting electron systems in ultra-pure materials; driven quantum systems, where strong light-matter interactions can lead to novel states of matter; generation and control of entangled states in low-dimensional devices; emergent correlated phases in novel low-dimensional materials and structures (e.g., twisted graphene). The main goal of this event will be to nurture collaborations and exchange of knowledge among researchers, advanced students and postdocs of different continents and subfields. The activities will highlight recent progress in this area in topics including, but not limited to: Electronic hydrodynamics Driven/dissipative systems and light-matter interaction Low-dimensional devices and disorder Topological systems Emergent phases in novel materials The  “Conference and Advanced School on Low-Dimensional Quantum Systems” will take place in Santiago, Chile, from March 13 to March 24, 2023. The event will combine a set of lectures and talks during the two weeks and will be a meeting point for researchers worldwide. Lecturers: G.
