Advanced School on Foundations and Applications of Nanomechanics | (smr 3147)
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.

Can New Physics spoil the measurement of Octant of θ23?
Abstract. Present global fits of world neutrino data hint towards non-maximal θ23 with two nearly degenerate solutions, one in the lower octant (θ23 < π/4), and the other in the higher octant (θ23 > π/4). This octant ambiguity of θ23 is one of the fundamental issues in the neutrino sector, and long-baseline (LBL) experiments can resolve this issue with the help of νμ → νe appearance channel. First, I will discuss how this measurement would be affected in the upcoming LBL experiments if there exist a light eV-scale sterile neutrino. I will show that in the so called 3+1 scheme involving three active and one sterile neutrinos, a new interference term in νμ → νe transition probability can spoil the chances of measuring θ23 octant completely. Next, I will describe in detail the degeneracy between the octant of θ23 and flavor-changing neutral-current non-standard interactions (NSI’s) in neutrino propagation. I will show that for values of the NSI coupling as small as f ew %, the discovery potential of the octant of θ23 gets completely lost.

On intrinsic differentiability in the Wasserstein space P2(Rd)
Abstract: We elucidate the connection between different notions of differentiability in P2(Rd): some have been introduced intrinsically by Ambrosio–Gigli–Savaré, the other notion due to Lions, is extrinsic and arises from the identification of P2(Rd) with the Hilbert space of square-integrable random variables. We mention potential applications such as uniqueness of viscosity solutions for Hamilton-Jacobi equations in P2(Rd), the latter not known to satisfy the Radon–Nikodym property.

Foundations and Applications of Nanomechanics | (smr 3177)
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.

BASIC NOTIONS SEMINAR: Using a computer as a microscope to understand the inner workings of materials
Abstract:
Functional materials play an ubiquitous role in the technological world around us. From the filaments of a light bulb to drugs against illnesses, semiconductor chips in computers or catalysts in chemical production plants: many breakthroughs in technological applications relied on the discovery of materials with particular properties.
While the search for new materials was often guided by trial and error, recently computer simulations have helped to predict the characteristics of a substance before it is even synthesized in a lab.
But how is this done? How can a computer, by solving equations, give us insight into how something behaves under pressure, at high temperatures, under illumination, in electric or magnetic fields?
In this seminar, I will give a glimpse into the fast growing area of atomistic materials modelling. I will show how it is possible to start from the knowledge of atomic properties and bridge the scales to real applications - and which (mathematical as well as numerical) hurdles lie on this path.

Light and Motion at the Nanoscale
Florian Marquardt leads the theory division at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) in Erlangen, Germany. He had studied in Bayreuth, Germany, before doing his PhD at the university of Basel, Switzerland. From 2003 to 2005, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University, USA, after which he took up a junior research group leader position at the LMU Munich (2005-2010). In 2009 he was awarded the Walter Schottky prize of the German Physical Society for his work on the theory of cavity optomechanics. In 2010, he moved to a tenured (chair) position at the university of Erlangen. He was appointed a director at the MPL in 2016. His research interests generally lie at the intersection of nanophysics and quantum optics, including cavity optomechanics and nanomechanics, decoherence, quantum transport, quantum electrodynamics in superconducting circuits, quantum computation, and quantum many-body physics.
ABSTRACT:
During the last ten years, a new research frontier has been explored at the interface between nanophysics and quantum optics: in the field of cavity optomechanics, one aims to exploit the interaction between radiation and vibrational motion, often at the nanoscale. Possible applications range from foundational studies of quantum physics via sensitive measurements to quantum communication. In this talk, I will first give an overview of the current status of this field and then highlight two recent research topics: the study of the topological transport of photons and phonons, and the optomechanics of superfluid helium.
The colloquium will be live-streamed from the ICTP website.
Light refreshments will be served after the event.

ICTP Seminar Series in Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics: Microwave Properties of Superconductors close to SIT
Strongly disordered pseudogapped superconductors are expected to display arbitrary high values of kinetic inductance close to superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) that makes them attractive for the implementation of dissipationless superinductance. We develop the theory of the collective modes in these superconductors and discuss associated dissipation at microwave frequencies. We obtain the collective mode spectra dependence on the disorder level and conclude that collective modes become relevant source of dissipation and noise in the far vicinity of SIT.

Duality symmetry, Hesse potential and connections to topological string
Abstract. The topological string captures certain superstring amplitudes which are also encoded in the underlying string effective action. However, unlike the topological string free energy, the N=2 string effective action including higher derivative couplings, is not defined in terms of duality covariant variables. We shall discuss this in the context of N=2 supergravity by introducing the Hesse potential defined in terms of duality covariant variables and is related by a Legendre transformation to the function that encodes the effective action. The non-holomorphic deformations of this function have been included for obtain results for the more general case. It is then demonstrated that the Hesse potential contains a unique subsector which can be identified with topological string free energy and it satisfies the holomorphic anomaly equation of topological string theory.

South Caucasus-Black Sea Regional Climate Conference | (smr 3122)
The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP, Trieste, Italy) in collaboration with Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University (BSU) is organizing a 3-day regional Conference on the Effects of climate change in South Caucasus-Black Sea region. This regional Conference will bring together scientists and students from Georgia/Caucasus/Black Sea region to initiate the dialogue and experience shearing for two main processes at play: unsustainable use of environmental resources and the global climate change. Countries in Caucasus-Black Sea region now suffer from increased frequency and intensity of extreme events such as floods, landslides, etc, as a result of the environmental changes. Such extreme events are expected to be exacerbated by climate changes. Numerical simulation and regional climate models are valuable tools to assess such impacts. The focal point will be to teach trainees how to set up the ICTP Regional Climate Model RegCM4 for the study of past, present and projected climate. The trainees will also learn how to use observational products and processing tools for climate data analysis.
Topics:
• South Caucasus-Black Sea Regional climate modeling
• Regional Climate Model system RegCM4
• Climate change and extreme events impact
• Environmental issues in the Southern Caucasus – Black Sea region

This school will introduce this new perspective to the students, giving them hands-on experience in the computer lab.
During the first week of the School, the lecturers will review the state of knowledge of Tropical- Extratropical interactions, with an emphasis on basic dynamics, and on hypotheses that can be tested with the forecasts and re-forecasts from a number of operational centers and possibly experiments with the ICTP climate model. Lectures will be held in the mornings.
In the afternoons, the students (participants) will form teams to design lab projects to explore the relationships discussed in the morning, using the S2S forecast database http://journals.ametsoc.org/ doi/abs/10.1175/BAMS-D-16-0017.1
and possibly design experiments with the ICTP climate model (SPEEDY) https://www.ictp.it/research/esp/models/speedy. aspx.
During the second week, the lecturers will cover more advanced research, and the participants will continue their projects, in consultation with the lecturers.
The topics center on the role of intra-seasonal interactions between the tropics and extra-tropics in increased potential predictability of significant circulation and weather anomalies in many regions

ICTP Seminar Series in Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics "Trapping Centers at the Superfluid-Mott-Insulator Criticality: Transition between Charge-quantized States"
Under the conditions of superfluid-Mott-insulator criticality in two dimensions, the trapping centers - i.e., local potential wells and bumps - are generically characterized by an integer charge corresponding to the number of trapped particles (if positive) or holes (if negative). Varying the strength of the center leads to a transition between two competing ground states with charges differing by (plus or minus) one. The hallmark of the transition scenario is a splitting of the number density distortion into a half-integer core and a large halo carrying the complementary charge plus/minus 1/2. The sign of the halo charge changes across the transition. The radius of the halo diverges on the approach to the critical strength of the center.

Second Workshop on "Science Dissemination for the Disabled” and the follow up Scientific Fabrication Laboratories | (smr 3156)
Open technologies can and should be used to create and disseminate scientific know-how for all, as well as to facilitate the access to science for disabled people. Stressing this is the rationale behind the organization of the above-mentioned Workshops.
The aim of these events is to analyze new ways to establish and support the creation of SciFabLabs in remote areas in order to inspire curiosity and understanding in young scholars and new generations of scientists without any exclusion.
Particular attention will be paid to innovation on existing projects and technologies to be usable by people with disabilities to study science. Affordable prototypes designated and produced within Scientific Fabrication Laboratories for that purpose will be presented together with software applications for mobile and special devices.
Both activities combine in a balanced mix technical details, general overviews and sense of the possible. There will be also discussions with experts and participants about the creation of modern Scientific FabLabs and Makerspaces in developing countries designed to be open places devoted to creativity for the benefit of the whole society.
A special workshop dedicated to virtual reality will be held on Wednesday 25 October. This will be the first of a series of workshop to be held in Trieste in the framework of the training project "TSFF goes Virtual", organized by Trieste Film Festival/Associazione Alpe Adria Cinema with the collaboration of Contaminazioni Digitali and the ICTP Sci Fab Lab.
"TSFF goes Virtual @ SciFabLab" will provide participants with the basic theoretical and practical techniques needed to shoot an immersive video. The workshop is a unique opportunity to understand the virtual reality perspective, the differences between classical and immersive shootings, as well as the use of new softwares for 360° video production.

Laboratory and Synchrotron X-ray Crystallography: Applications to Emerging Countries | (smr 3163)
Crystallography is an interdisciplinary science that finds application in technological areas of strategic importance for emerging countries, such as cement, mining, electronic and pharmaceutical research. Special emphasis will be placed on the role of advanced synchrotron light sources.
Crystallography enables to access the inner properties of matter and accurate atomic structures of molecules, materials, proteins and any kind of compound; without the knowledge of the structure, the functionality of a given material cannot be understood and therefore improved. Mining and cement companies use crystallography for quality and purity control and for research aimed at developing novel materials; the pharmaceutical industry uses crystallography to identify the correct polymorph and understanding the functionality of new medicines. Today synchrotron light sources complement laboratory X-ray equipment and allow access to unprecedented capabilities. Students will be encouraged to test their understanding on crystallography using single crystal and powder portable diffractometers, which will be installed on site for at least the duration of the school.
Topics:
• X-ray and neutron diffraction physics
• powder and single-crystal methods
• physical properties of crystals
• symmetry and space groups
• structural refinement
• crystallographic databases
• applications to cement, mining, electronic and pharmaceutical industries
• nano-crystallography
• bio-crystallography
• quasicrystals
• synchrotron light sources
Co-sponsored by: International Union of Crystallography; International Union of Pure and Applied Physics; Lightsources for Africa, the Americas and Middle East Project; ALBA Synchrotron; IUCr-UNESCO OpenLab.

What Research on Learning Tells Us About Teaching Physics
Biosketch: Helen Quinn, originally from Australia, is Professor Emerita of Particle Physics and Astrophysics at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. She received her Ph.D in physics at Stanford in 1967. She has taught physics at both Harvard and Stanford and is an internationally recognized theoretical physicist who holds the ICTP Dirac Medal, the Klein Medal (from The Swedish National Academy of Sciences and Stockholm University) as well as the Sakurai Prize (from the American Physical Society) and the Compton medal (from the American Institute of Physics, awarded once every 4 years). She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Science and the American Philosophical Society. She is a Fellow and former president of the American Physical Society.
Dr. Quinn is has been active in science education for some years. She served as Chair of the US National Academy of Science Board on Science Education (BOSE) from 2009-2014 and as a member of the BOSE study that developed the report “Taking Science to School” as well as chairing the committee for the “Framework for K-12 Science Education”, which is the basis of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) that have now been adopted by multiple states in the US. In 2015 Helen was appointed by the President of Ecuador as a member of the initial “Comision Gestora” to help guide the development of the National University of Education of Ecuador.
Abstract: Almost all physicists are also physics teachers during their career. We all learned, so we think we know how to teach. But teaching as you were taught is unlikely to be the best approach. Repeated experiments at many Universities and with many students, have demonstrated what works and what does not. Dr. Quinn will summarize the work of physics education research, and talk about how to become a more effective teacher by paying attention to what this research has shown.

Latin America Introductory School on Parallel Programming and Parallel Architecture for High Performance Computing | (smr 3187)
* * * MORE INFO AND ONLINE APPLICATION SOON AVAILABLE * * *
The School has the goal of teaching participating scientists about modern computer hardware and programming to provide a foundation for future computational research using High-Performance Computing (HPC). Participants will go through an intensive program with focus on practical skills most relevant to users of HPC resources of all sizes. They will learn to improve the efficiency of their research codes and to parallelize them. Lectures on a selection of technical aspects of modern HPC hardware will be mixed with introductions to widely used parallel programming tools and libraries. The hands-on sessions will allow participants to practice on small example problems of general scientific interest. Example topics will cover numerical methods, parallel strategies, as well as data management.
The program is specifically addressing the needs of scientists using, writing, or modifying HPC applications will not assume, require, or provide significant IT and HPC resource management skills. It will be mainly based on fundamental HPC-relevant features in widely used scientific software for high-performance computing:
• Computer architectures for HPC and how to optimize for them
• Parallel programming tools (MPI & OpenMP)
• Portable, flexible and parallel I/O (HDF5)
• Profiling, benchmarking and debugging
• High-Performance Libraries for the Solution of Common Math Problems

Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems | (smr 3189)
ICTP and SISSA, in collaboration with the partner institutions of the Master in the Physics of Complex Systems (http://www.polito.it/pcs) will organize the Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems from 19 February to 16 March 2018.
Many complex systems in physics, biology, engineering and economics are characterized by a large number of interacting degrees of freedom giving rise to a non-trivial collective behavior. The theoretical and computational tools for a quantitative analysis of complex systems are often rooted in modern (statistical, quantum) physics. The Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems aims to give students the opportunity to get in touch with a selection of topics at the forefront of research during an intensive 4-week program. It consists of 5 courses of 9 lectures each, followed by final written tests.
Invited Lecturers:
Mahesh Bandi (OIST, Okinawa)
Antonio Celani (ICTP, Trieste)
Chris Mathys (SISSA, Trieste)
Henri Orland (CEA, IPhT, Gif-sur-Yvette)
Gregory Schehr (LPTMS, Orsay Cedex)
Applicants from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may attend. Participants should have an adequate working knowledge of English. Candidates are required to solicit recommendation letters to be sent by their supervisors in support of their application. As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne by their home institutions. However, limited funds are available to partially support some participants, who are nationals of, and working in, a developing country, and who are not more than 45 years old. Such support is limited and candidates should make every effort to secure support for their travel, at least partial. Attendance of lectures and completion of the final written tests are mandatory for those who are granted ICTP funding.
There is no registration fee.

ICTP Summer School on
Theory, Mechanisms and Hierarchical Modelling of Climate Dynamics:
Multiple Equilibria in the Climate System | (smr 3214)
The climate community is still faced with large uncertainties in estimating possible climate changes in the next decades and quantifying the relative role of anthropogenic contribution to climate change. Although most modern climate models are able to reproduce reasonably well global climatologies and patterns of interannual variations, they still struggle with pervasive biases and the representation of some of the climate phenomena involving the interaction and coupling between the atmosphere, the ocean and the cryosphere. The problem is compounded by the limited understanding of some of the physical mechanisms giving rise to both our present mean climate and its natural variability at different time scales. One possible way forward is the use of a hierarchy of models to tackle the most pressing questions in climate dynamics and modeling. Key among them, is whether the climate is stable, or whether internal feedbacks could lead to tipping points, abrupt changes, and transitions to fundamentally different equilibria.
Changes in the oceanic overturning, ice-albedo effects, land-surface and vegetation coupling to the atmosphere, and radiative-convective properties of the atmosphere have all been suggested as possible causes of instability in the climate system. Advances in our understanding, quantification, and modelling of these processes are necessary both for the interpretation of the paleoclimate record and for the projection of possible future climate states. A variety of studies have found that multiple equilibria exist both in highly idealized and more comprehensive models of the climate system. Whether multiple equilibria do exist in state-of-the-art climate models is still a subject of controversy.
A fundamental understanding of key processes within a hierarchical modeling framework will eventually translate into a better representation and simulation within state-of-the-art climate models, as it brings new insights for process-based evaluation of climate model reliability and fit for purpose. The use of hierarchies additionally promotes the use of standardized performance metrics and highlights instances when post-processing approaches (e.g. bias correction) or diverse model tuning practices should be explored.
The school will be based on lectures on theoretical aspects of atmosphere, ocean and climate dynamics, with a focus on the present state of established knowledge and relevant mechanisms.
The topic of the school, Multiple Equilibra in the Climate System, will be the subject of afternoon lectures, giving an overview of the most recent progress and hypotheses suggesting the
existence of multiple equilibrium states, and consequences for past and future climates. Afternoons will also be devoted to practical sessions, involving the use of simplified climate models and analysis of relevant data sets.
The school will be followed by the 2nd WCRP Grand Challenge Meeting on Monsoons and Tropical Rain Belts.
Reliable projections of tropical rainfall changes are key to any climate adaption efforts in a warming world. Yet, our global climate models are a subpar tool for the task: their spatial resolution is too coarse to reproduce the deep convection that produces most rainfall in the tropics, and current parametrizations are inadequate – as signified by persistent biases in the simulation of the annual and diurnal cycles of rainfall in large areas of the oceans and continents, as well as the response to forcing of the past. Nonetheless, tropical rainfall is organized in the large-scale structures of the monsoons and the ITCZ whose dynamics are shaped by large-scale energetic and momentum constraints that involve the global circulation of both the ocean and the atmosphere. This suggests that building a coherent understanding of tropical rainfall can benefit from an understanding of these large-scale influences and their coupling with small scale cloud and precipitation processes. Making this link across scales to improve our understanding and our ability to anticipate future tropical rainfall changes is a key question in climate science.
The workshop, building on the knowledge and practical skills acquired during the school, aims to bring together expertise on large-scale atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, small scale cloud and precipitation processes, hierarchical climate modeling and observation. The aim is to both review recent progress on tropical rainfall dynamics and to identify areas where progress is most amenable in the future given the existing and emerging modelling tools and theoretical frameworks.

Workshop on Operations Research of Biological Systems | (smr 3223)
Aim of the workshop
The workshop on the emerging field of biological operations research – the application of operations research methodologies in systems and molecular cell biology – is designed to bring together participants and lecturers versed in either of the two disciplines that are eager to further uncover the deep connections between the two fields and find new avenues for research and collaboration while gaining new insight on biological functions from an operational and system perspective.
The long-term goal of the workshop is to boost research and collaboration in this field, by acquainting researchers with the existing long-standing problems in system biology, molecular cell biology and bacterial physiology.
We will explore the deep connections between these problems and those that arise in operations research, e.g. the question of regulation of mass production in an uncertain market, dynamic resource allocation, scheduling problems and the impact of different queuing disciplines of speed and efficiency of a complex production facility.
Researchers will have a chance to exchange ideas and compare different methodologies and modes of thinking about operational parameters such as throughput, efficiency, resource allocation, reliability, redundancy, and cost in a novel biological context.
Topics
Scheduling and queuing disciplines – from circadian rhythms to pipelining of self-replication
Allocation of resources to self-replication vs. maintenance
Transcription and translation regulation, role of external and internal information
Controlling WIP (work-in-progress) – Kanban, TOC, and CONWIP vs. product feedback inhibition
Anticipatory systems and their reverse engineering
Metabolic networks and queuing theory
Bullwhip effect and the role of inventory control, forecasting and information
Modern queuing theory
Self-regulating and resource dependent branching processes

14th Joint ICTP-IAEA School on Nuclear Knowledge Management | (smr 3229)
The School is a certificate course providing specialized education and training on development and implementation of knowledge management programmes in nuclear science and technology organizations. It is intended for young professionals in current or future leading roles in managing nuclear knowledge.
Description:
Jointly organized by ICTP and the IAEA since 2004, this Nuclear Knowledge Management (NKM) School focuses on methodologies and practices, and explores various dimensions of nuclear knowledge management. These include processes and tools, challenges and benefits, culture influence, relationship with human resource development, IT for knowledge preservation and sharing. Learning is supplemented with real life examples from NKM programmes in different types of nuclear organizations. The aim is to encourage ‘forward thinking’ and to enable participants to apply theory and insights in their daily work. Pre-training is done via e-learning for a common understanding of the basics, allowing a more efficient interaction with peers and lecturers during the in-class School. Lectures at the ICTP by recognized experts are followed by case studies, practical work and breakout sessions where participants will have the opportunity to discuss issues and solutions. NKM group projects are also developed over the week.
Shortlisted candidates will undergo an on-line pre-training course and a test, the results of which will be one of the elements to define the final list of participants.
Topics:
• Nuclear knowledge and knowledge management fundamentals;
• Developing policies and strategies in managing nuclear knowledge;
• Managing nuclear information resources;
• Human resources development, risk of knowledge loss and knowledge transfer;
• Practical guidance and good practices on NKM.
