Europe/Rome Nano/mesoscale mechanical and rheological response with dissipation has become, thanks to the very broad range of experimental/theoretical approaches, a novel local diagnostic and even spectroscopic tool, as well as a playground of sophisticated non-equilibrium statistical physics. The physics of nanoscale mechanical dissipation is relevant to sliding nanofriction, to technological themes such as lubrication or finger-touchscreen friction, to soft and granular matter, to nanofrictional emulation in optical lattices, to active matter, to quantum and classical processes in noncontact AFM, and beyond. Between condensed matter physics, nanomechanics, materials science and engineering, this interdisciplinary area is of considerable conceptual value as a modern subject in non-equilibrium physics, and of the potential relevance of neighbouring fields such as fatigue, wear, lubrication, rheology, and biomechanics. As is well established in ICTP Trieste since 1995, we will collect the world community active in these fields, including groups in emerging countries, mixing theoretical, simulation and experimental highlights, and identifying future directions of motion of research in this lively arena. Topics: From dissipation to superlubricity Atomistic friction of 2D layered materials Nanomanipulation and dynamics of nano-objects at surfaces Tribology of confined systems and lubricants under shear Frictional dynamics in soft and active matter Friction in powders and granular systems Fundamentals of friction theory Electronic, magnetic and quantum friction Surface and bulk processes and transitions detected by noncontact AFM dissipation Tribochemistry, triboelectricity, biotribological effects Trends in experimental and computational techniques Participants are encouraged to submit abstracts of proposed poster contributions. A number of short oral presentation slots will be available for some of them upon selection. Speakers: A. BENASSI, Chiesi Farmaceutici, Italy R.

This requires an understanding of the ensuing multicomponent field theories, their microscopic origins and macroscopic responses. This program will bring together experimentalists, experts working on macroscopic properties and experts working on the underlying microscopic physics that leads to these complex states. The goal will be to achieve an in depth understanding of important physical properties including magnetic response, transport and thermoelectric properties, nature of topological excitations, and fluctuation-induced phases. This will be achieved through an emphasis on the following material systems: twisted bilayer graphene; iron-based superconductors; unconventional superconductivity in Sr2RuO4; UTe2 and related ferromagnetic superconductors; Bi2Se3 based nematic superconductors; j=3/2 superconductors; and novel 2D superconductors Topics: Topological superconducting phases Broken time-reversal superconductors Superconductivity with competing orders Topological Majorana edge states Novel superconducting gap structures Superconductivity from correlated electrons Speakers: A.

The School will cover introductory concepts such as: electronic structure theory, density functional theory and functionals, phonons, magnetism, enhanced sampling methods in molecular dynamics, ab-initio molecular dynamics, etc. It will also cover more advanced topics and applications of these methods to the structural, mechanical and optical properties of materials, and to the properties of biological systems. The School will include hands-on tutorial sessions based on public license codes (including, but not limited to, the "Quantum Espresso" package). During the second week students will be asked to split up in teams and work on specific projects under the guidance of the lecturers and mentors. - - - DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION: 5 MARCH 2020 (midnight, Italy time) This School adheres to IUPAP policies on scientific freedom, affirming non-discrimination on the basis of such factors as ethnic origin, religion, citizenship, language, political stance, gender, or age.

Europe/Rome The Advanced School 'Frontiers of Nanomechanics' will recapitulate the fundamental concepts of nano and optomechanical systems and introduce the key concepts behind future potential nano- and optomechanical technologies. The school will consist of eight lectures series (two times one hour) delivered by international experts. These lecture series reflect the fields which currently attract the highest scientific interest and/or application potential and cover landmark implementations of nanomechanical systems. They also represent a good balance between experimental and theory perspectives, fundamental recurrent topics and modern topics which only developed in the last couple of years, as well as between classical and quantum mechanical aspects of nanomechanics. The lecture series will be complemented by practical, hands-on mini-project sessions supervised by the lecturers. The results of the mini-projects which will be presented at the end of the school. Lecture Topics: Introduction to nanomechanics (Andrew Cleland, University of Chicago, USA) Nanomechanical resonators coupled to spins (Ania Jayich, University of California in Santa Barbara, USA) Nonlinear dynamics of nanomechanical systems (Mark Dykman, Michigan State University, USA) Topological mechanics (Sebastian Huber, ETH Zurich, Switzerland) Basics of quantum cavity optomechanics (Aashish Clerk, University of Chicago, USA) Optomechanical crystals and quantum cavity optomechanics experiments (Amir Safavi-Naeini, Stanford University, USA) Quantized phonons and superconducting qubits (Yiwen Chu, ETH Zurich, Switzerland) Non-Hermitean scenarios in nanomechanical systems (Jack Harris, Yale University, USA) Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries.

Europe/Rome Adiabatic quantum computing and quantum annealing are promising technologies to be used in the near future quantum devices. The conference will deal with academic and basic research on these topics, with a broad focus, including quantum approximate optimization (QAOA) and other variational quantum approaches, and in close connection with the neighbouring fields of Quantum Simulations and Quantum Computation. It will bring together top-world experts in quantum technologies from different areas of condensed matter, photonics and atomic-and-molecular physics to discuss together their latest results and viewpoints. The scientific focus will be on conceptual, theoretical, and experimental trends. The meeting will collect, as is well established in Trieste, the world community active in these fields, for fruitful encounters and exchanges, and with an intense mixing of theoretical, simulation and experimental experiences, including emerging countries, in line with the mission of ICTP. Supplementing about 25 invited speakers, a number of shorter contributed will also be selected among applications. Topics: Role of entanglement Role of dissipation Role of non-stoquasticity Quantum complexity Non-adiabatic quantum computing Variational quantum algorithms Counter-diabatic driving Theoretical and numerical models of adiabatic quantum computing Non-traditional quantum driving including inhomogeneous driving and reverse annealing Digitized quantum annealing Quantum machine learning Speakers: D.
