============================================================
The aim of this interdisciplinary Workshop is to gather together physicists and chemists who employ path-integral simulations on different systems, ranging from chemical and biochemical compounds, to quantum fluids/solids, to ultracold gases. The goal is to create the platform for exchanging knowledge on path-integral technology and on other approaches to the combined quantum simulation of electrons and nuclei.
This Workshop will present the most recent methodological developments and applications to the intriguing quantum phenomena, including, e.g., isotope effects in aqueous systems, quantum fluctuations in enzyme catalysis, superfluid/supersolid transitions, and correlation effects in electronic systems.
The programme will include 25 to 30 oral presentations given by invited speakers, a poster session and a flash talk session with short oral contributions.
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTED ABSTRACTS:
In the application form, all applicants are invited to submit an Abstract (preferably using the template indicated below) for a poster presentation and for a flash talk (approximately 3 or 4 minutes long) to advertise the content of the poster.

Conference on Many-Body-Localization: Advances in the Theory and Experimental Progress | (smr 3132)
Deadline to apply: 28 March 2017
Recent developments in 'Many Body Localization' will be presented by leading theorists and experimentalists working in this rapidly developing field. Comprehensive review lectures, topical contributed talks and poster sessons are planned. All courses will be taught in English.
The phenomenon of Many Body Localization (MBL) is fundamental to understanding thermodynamics and kinetics of interacting quantum systems with vast potential applications to quantum computation and quantum engineering. From the theory viewpoint, it resulted from a non-trivial development of ideas of Anderson localization, entanglement and phase transitions in interacting quantum systems. Experimentally, its observation would require the system under study to be very well isolated and to allow an unprecedented level of control. The natural experimental playground for MBL is represented by systems of ultra-cold atoms and Josephson junctions. The progress in this field so far came essentially from theoretical consideration, and now, we must promote MBL to the world of experimental physics.
Applicants who are interested in presenting a poster, should kindly submit a very short abstract (max one page, PDF format), by uploading the file in the "Upload Abstract" field on the online application form.
Topics:
• Anderson localization
• Entanglement
• Phase transitions in interacting quantum systems
• Thermodynamcs and kinetics in interacting quantum systems
Grants:
A very limited number of grants are available to support the travel and living expenses of a few selected participants, with strong priority given to participants working in a developing country.

Since more than thirty years the study of quantum effects on transport properties has been a precious tool to unveil fundamental properties of quantum matter.
At the same time it has been the key to the design of new nano-devices with specific functionalities.
Together with old problems, still awaiting for a complete understanding, the discovery of new materials has posed new challenges. Important advances on the experimental side have stimulated a flurry of theoretical activity of unprecedented intensity. In the condensed matter realm this is the case, for example, of heat transport and control that only recently has received an important experimental boost.
Furthermore, quantum transport has moved outside its traditional arena and it is now investigated with great success in other experimental platforms as photonic and cold atomic systems.
All these different physical systems have many properties in common but at the same time important differences.
Topics that will be covered include:
The Superconductor-Insulator Transition,
Transport In Graphene,
The Metal-Insulator Transition In Quantum Systems,
Transport And Entanglement,
Topological Insulators And Superconductors,
Mesoscopic Effects,
Thermoelectric Effects,
Heat Transport,
Quantum Pumping,
Photon And Polariton Transport,
Quantum Transport In Cold Atoms,
Quantum Hall Systems.

Advanced School on Foundations and Applications of Nanomechanics | (smr 3147)
ATTENTION new deadline 15 June 2017
This school introduces the science of nanomechanical systems, a flourishing field of research. Nanomechanical systems are of interest both for their potential in terms of fundamental quantum physics as well as for applications in sensitive measurements, quantum information, and other areas. This Advanced School will recapitulate the foundations of nanomechanical systems and introduce the key concepts behind nano- and optomechanical technologies. The breadth of the field will be covered in six series of lectures delivered by internationally renowned experts. The pedagogical part of the school will be complemented by a series of about 20 invited presentations of state-of-the-art research. A crucial part of the school, in addition to the lectures and talks, will be the active contribution of the participants, which will be encouraged and fostered by several means: During the first week of the school, designated timeslots for tutorial classes will enable students to practice their skills in analytical as well as numerical methods, and will include problem solving and presentation of scientific results. The participants will work in small teams on research-type mini-projects.

Foundations and Applications of Nanomechanics | (smr 3177)
ATTENTION new deadline 15 June 2017
The study of nanomechanical systems has evolved into a substantial and growing field of research. The interest in nanomechanical systems is fueled by their applicability to a wide range of problems: In addition to the ability to use these solid-state systems to investigate fundamental quantum physics and to target the frontiers of quantum mechanics, these systems also have applications in classical and quantum information technology and as ultrasensitive detectors of mass, displacement, acceleration, force or spin. As a result, research directions such as cavity optomechanics and nanoelectromechanics today attract a significant number of researchers from around the world. By their nature, nanomechanical systems are interdisciplinary, since they can couple to electrical circuits or optical cavities, and have potential applications in nano- and optomechanical technologies.
This workshop will highlight recent experimental and theoretical breakthroughs at the forefront of international research, and bring together international experts from the various fields of nanomechancs.
Research Talks on:
• Optomechanics;
• Nanoelectromechanics;
• Nanomechanical arrays;
• Sensing;
• Photonic crystals for optomechanics;
• Diamond nanomechanics;
• Nanotubes and graphene for nanomechanics; • surface-acoustic waves;
• Coupling to superconducting circuits;
• Microwave-to-optics conversion;
• Quantum effects;
• Foundational questions;
• Entanglement;
• and others
