**DEADLINE: 05/03/2020**

Europe/Rome Virtual Workshop The workshop will be held on June 8, June 10 and June 12, 2020 Abstract Hydrodynamics plays a crucial role in many branches of physics. It can be regarded as an effective field theory for the dynamics of slow conserved modes of many-body systems that emerge at large scales, describing the evolution from local to global equilibrium. Recently, the notion of hydrodynamics was generalized to describe the behavior of quantum integrable systems that are characterized by an infinite number of conserved quantities. This workshop will gather a core group of outstanding young scientists, and will aim to set new directions for future research in the field. Workshop Description The last decade witnessed an intense combined effort of both experimentalists and theorists aimed at understanding quantum matter out of equilibrium. The main research themes concerned the identification of universal structures emerging at finite times and the description of the eventual relaxation. In systems characterised by an extensive number of conservation laws (integrable systems, including many paradigmatic models of quantum many-body physics such as the Hubbard, Heisenberg, and Lieb-Liniger models), a rich set of hydrodynamic laws was found to emerge. These laws, which have been grouped under the name of “Generalised Hydrodynamics” (GHD), offered a variety of applications ranging from the study of transport in simple materials to the quantitative description of cold-atom experiments. Generalised Hydrodynamics is now understood as a wide-ranging framework encompassing both quantum and classical systems, and has fostered surprising new developments in integrability, statistical mechanics and fluid theory. In gathering together a core group of outstanding scientists, we aim to set new directions for future research in the field. For instance, one of the cutting edges of the field is to understand how the hydrodynamic regime is reached. Moreover, a general understanding of anomalous transport properties is missing, higher-order gradient corrections needed to capture low-frequency transport remain mysterious, and the role of the inevitable integrability-breaking perturbations present in any experiment is poorly understood. Those exciting challenges call for the development of new mathematical techniques to describe out-of-equilibrium phenomena in strongly interacting low-dimensional quantum systems, and integrable systems provide the ideal testbed to develop such ideas. Topics: Emergence of GHD Diffusion and higher-order corrections Anomalous transport Hydrodynamics of integrability breaking Low temperature hydrodynamics, quantum corrections Bose gas experiments Entanglement dynamics Cellular automata Speakers: A.

Europe/Rome To register to the Seminar Series please do it here. In this talk I will review the state of the art and the new perspectives in the theoretical and experimental study of analog models of quantum field theories in flat, curved, or time-dependent backgrounds using condensed matter and optical systems. After a brief presentation of the theory and experiments on Hawking emission of phonons from acoustic horizons in quantum fluids of ultracold atoms and of light, I will present recent results (in collaboration with Luca Giacomelli) on superradiance effects in different geometries. In rotating configurations, the instability of multiply charged vortices can be understood in terms of an ergoregion instability at the vortex core. Introduction of synthetic gauge fields in planar geometries extends the range of space-time metrics that can be generated and allows for analytical insight into superradiant scattering processes. The relation between superradiant scattering and superradiant instabilities will be clarified. As a further extension of the analog model paradigm, I will present how impurity atoms in an atomic fluid can form two-level emitters coupled to the quantum field. Based on recent works with Jamir Marino, Gabriel Menezes and Alessio Recati, I will present observable predictions of Ginzburg radiation and superradiant lasing for moving emitters along linear or circular trajectories. I will finally outline the on-going investigations (in collaboration with Salvatore G. Butera) in the direction of observing back-reaction effects of the quantum Hawking emission onto the black hole background. Virtual ICTP pio@ictp.it

Only recently, statistical physicists started to explore more complex forms of data, such as equally-labelled points lying on (possibly low dimensional) object manifolds. Here we provide a bridge between this recently-established research area and the framework of statistical learning theory, a branch of mathematics devoted to inference in machine learning. The overarching motivation is the inadequacy of the classic rigorous results in explaining the remarkable generalization properties of deep learning. We propose a way to integrate physical models of data into statistical learning theory, and address, with both combinatorial and statistical mechanics methods, the computation of the Vapnik-Chervonenkis entropy, which counts the number of different binary classifications compatible with the loss class. As a proof of concept, we focus on kernel machines and on two simple realizations of data structure introduced in recent physics literature: k-dimensional simplexes with prescribed geometric relations and spherical manifolds (equivalent to margin classification). Entropy, contrary to what happens for unstructured data, is nonmonotonic in the sample size, in contrast with the rigorous bounds. Moreover, data structure induces a novel transition beyond the storage capacity, which we advocate as a proxy of the nonmonotonicity, and ultimately a cue of low generalization error. The identification of a synaptic volume vanishing at the transition allows a quantification of the impact of data structure within replica theory, applicable in cases where combinatorial methods are not available, as we demonstrate for margin learning.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have shown clear advantages over competing technologies. The top certified efficiency of DSCs exceeds 11% and the lab-cell efficiency is greater than 13%. In 2012, the first reports of high efficiency solid-state solar cells based on organohalide lead perovskites completely revolutionized the field. These materials are used as light-absorbers in DSCs and as light-harvesting and electron conductor in meso-superstructured and flat heterojunction perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and show certified efficiencies that currently exceed 25%. To effectively compete with conventional photovoltaics, emerging technologies need to achieve higher efficiency and stability, while maintaining low production costs. Many of the advances in the DSCs and PSCs field have relied on the computational design and screening of new materials. Suitable modeling strategies further allow researchers to observe the otherwise inaccessible but crucial hetero-interfaces that control the solar cell operation, allowing researchers the opportunity to develop new and more efficient materials and optimize processes. We illustrate the basic device architectures and operating principles of both DSCs and PSCs highlighting the fundamental modeling strategies and revealing fundamental aspects of the device’s operational mechanism. Although the modeling of DSCs is relatively mature, the recent “perovskite storm” has presented new problems and new modeling challenges, such as understanding exciton formation/dissociation at interfaces and carrier recombination in these materials.

Speaker(s): Filippo De Angelis (Dept. of Chemistry, Univ. of Perugia and Computational Lab. for Hybrid/Organic Photovoltaics CLHYO, CNR-SCITEC, Perugia, Italy)

Seminar Start Time: 11:00

Europe/Rome Paolo Carloni is Professor in computational biophysics at the Department of Physics of RWTH-University of Aachen, Aachen, Germany, and Director of the Institute for Computational Biomedicine at the Juelich Research Center, Juelich, Germany, after spending a dozen years as Professor in SISSA, Trieste, Italy (1998-2009). He also holds a position as Co-director of the Key Laboratory for multi-scale modeling at the VNU University of Science in Hanoi, Vietnam. Carloni's research focuses on molecular simulation and bioinformatics approaches to molecular biophysics, molecular medicine and structural genomics. Abstract: The human brain is the most complex organ known in nature. It features more than 80 billion neurons each making thousands of synaptic connections with other neurons. The communication between neurons at synapses is chemical. It involves proteins, small molecules, and other biomolecules such as RNA. Hence, a molecular-level description of chemotransmission is really important to ultimately understand brain function and dysfunction. Here, we will present recent multi scale molecular simulation studies (from quantum to coarse grain) of key molecular processes occurring during chemotransmission. This knowledge is used to identify new ligands interfering with neurological diseases. In the final (and short) part of my talk I will completely switch gears. Given the recent Covid-19 pandemic, our group, as many other simulation groups worldwide, has recently re-directed part of the research to help combat the virus, helping the scientific community by data sharing (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7194014/). Here, I will briefly describe our current effort, within an EU project involving 18 research units, to identify possibly molecules which may bind and inhibit Covid-19 proteins. The talk (approx. 40 minutes) will be in a webinar format, with an introduction by the Director. A question/answer session will follow.

Speaker(s): Bellettini Giovanni (ICTP/University of Siena)

Seminar Start Time: 16:00

Europe/Rome Abstract: We discuss the thermodynamic and ergodic properties of a smooth realization of pseudo-Anosov surface homeomorphisms. In this realization, pseudo-Anosov map is uniformly hyperbolic outside of a neighborhood of a set of singularities, and the trajectories are slowed down so the differential is the identity at the singularities. Using Young towers, we prove existence and uniqueness of equilibrium measures for geometric $t$-potentials. This family of equilibrium measures includes a unique smooth SRB measure and a measure of maximal entropy, the latter of which has exponential decay of correlations and the Central Limit Theorem.

The El-Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a strong driver of significant weather and climate anomalies across the globe. ENSO is probably one of the most studied phenomena in climate research, but there are still many open research questions, which will be discussed in this school. Also ENSO teleconnections continue to be an area of very active research. They include not only effects on the circulation over the mid-latitudes (Europe, Asia, North America, South America), but also a strong influence on the Asian Monsoon. The Monsoon also has its own set of teleconnections not all of which are related to ENSO. It will be very helpful for researchers and students alike to learn the latest advances in the understanding of ENSO dynamics and its broad range of teleconnections. One emphasis of this workshop will be the Asian Monsoon, which is a complex phenomenon of great importance to the regional agriculture and hence to the well-being of a very significant population. In recent years there has been an advance in understanding of how the Monsoon is affected by, and interacts with, the tropical ocean basins, the adjoining land masses, mid-latitudes and the stratosphere. Topics: Tropical ocean (ENSO) dynamics, including phenomenology ENSO theory, modeling, prediction Decadal Variability and long term trends ENSO teleconnections Decadal variations of interannual teleconnections Inter-basin connections Tropical-extratropical teleconnections Lecturers: S.

Europe/Rome The Coastal Ocean Environment Summer School in Ghana (https://coessing.org) is an international collaboration aimed at building capacity in oceanographic and environmental sciences in Ghana specifically, and Africa more generally. Marine issues of great importance to Ghana include fisheries, piracy, pollution, shipping and port management, and the recent advent of offshore oil drilling.  We held schools in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and ICTP co-organized the school in 2018. We hold the school every year, alternating between Regional Maritime University and University of Ghana, which are both located in Ghana’s capital city of Accra. In 2020, for the 6th summer in a row, we will host a summer school. It will be the third school hosted at the University of Ghana. During the summer school, around 100 African participants receive a broad general training in marine and environmental sciences. At the same time, a subgroup of participants receive more specific training in their areas of interest, through conducting a short research project on specialized topics related to ocean biogeochemistry, ocean modeling, satellite oceanography, data analysis, and seagoing oceanography. The emphasis in this project track is on hands-on research rather than on lectures. Project track participants will thus have a chance to spend an entire week working closely under the guidance of the instructors, deepening their knowledge of their topic of interest, and presenting their projects on the last day of the school.  We believe that repeat visits are the key to establishing meaningful long-term connections between western and African scientists. Our long-term goals for the school include developing a research and education network of marine and environmental scientists in several African countries. Topics: • Coastal ocean dynamics • Environmental science • Oil and gas basin development • Shoreline geomorphology • Organic and isotope biogeochemistry • Satellite and field oceanography • Numerical modeling of the ocean • Data analysis techniques Speakers: Prof. E.

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.

In case of any doubt, or should you receive any similar request, please contact the ICTP Secretariat at smr3480@ictp.it --- Descriptive abstract: Collective quantum phenomena under non-equilibrium conditions is an active topic of research, with many open questions of great conceptual and practical interest. Out-of-equilibrium many-body systems can give rise to much richer scenarios than in thermodynamic equilibrium, and their understanding is becoming increasingly relevant for a wide range of experimental platforms. The purpose of this conference is to bring together leading experts of many-body open quantum system to represent the state of the art in the field, the most recent theoretical ideas and techniques, and the increasing number of relevant experimental platforms. The conference aims to promote interactions and further research advances, and to provide an overview of the most recent progress to young researchers entering the field. Topics will include: Dissipative phase transitions Measurement-based many-body state preparation Quantum state engineering by driving and dissipation Arrays of coupled QED or optomechanical cavities Random quantum circuits and other mesoscopic systems Trapped ions and Rydberg atoms in optical lattices Atomic condensates in optical cavities Keldysh and renormalization-group method Speakers: D.

Europe/Rome In recent years there has been an increase of therapeutic applications using radiopharmaceuticals. This advanced workshop will provide the participants with a comprehensive review of the developments in the field of nuclear medicine image quantification and practical internal dosimetry. The purpose of this workshop is to contribute to the development of clinically qualified medical physicists in nuclear medicine by providing theoretical and practical tools for internal dosimetry. Molecular radiotherapy has demonstrated unique therapeutic advantages in the treatment of an increasing number of cancer types. Such treatments can deliver high absorbed doses to specific targets (tumour lesions) and healthy organs (organs at risk) and, thus, require a patient specific dose assessment. These calculations help to optimize the amount of radioactivity to be administered and to reduce the risk of under- or over-dosing patients, otherwise observed when using empirical approaches to activity determination. Practical sessions in a clinical setting will be included. The workshop is under the umbrella of ICTP and IAEA and is expected to maintain professional competency and to keep knowledge and skills of medical physicists working in nuclear medicine up to date. Topics: Physics and technology of SPECT/CT and PET/CT Quantitative SPECT and PET imaging MIRD formalism Voxel-based methods Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy I-131 therapy Radiation safety 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 Note: ICTP has suspended all educational activities from 24 February as precautionary measures due to COVID-19; more details at https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/media-centre/news/2020/2/ictp_suspend_activities.aspx Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory constitute a vibrant and exciting field of current research in pure mathematics, with lots of connections to other areas such as probability theory, differential geometry, ODEs, and potential applications to such diverse areas as natural and biological sciences, economics, engineering, climate and disease modeling and many others. It can be thought of as a modern development of classical theories of Differential Equations and the fundamental concepts and guiding ideas go back more than a century to pioneering thinkers such as Poincaré, Birkhoff and Kolmogorov. Its interest and importance has only grown in time and several Fields Medals have been awarded in the area. The present Workshop is part of a long standing tradition of Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory activities at ICTP that was initiated by J. Palis and C. Zeeman in the early 1980s, and continued by Ya. Sinai, J.-C. Yoccoz and others. It will address a wide range of topics in this field, including: • dynamics of one-dimensional maps • homoclinic and heteroclinic behavior, fractal dimensions • partially hyperbolic systems, dominated splittings • singular hyperbolic flows • conservative dynamics, KAM theory • dynamics in homogeneous spaces • billiards, interval exchanges, Teichmüller flows • dynamics of rational and entire functions • symbolic dynamics, thermodynamic formalism • stochastic behavior of deterministic systems • Lyapunov exponents, nonuniform hyperbolicity The list of invited speakers reflects the diversity of these subjects. Their lectures will constitute the basis of the programme, but posters sessions are also planned, which will give participants an opportunity to present their works.

Europe/Rome There is an increasing number of requests from Member States for assistance in the introduction of stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery for intra-and extra-cranial targets. This workshop will assist clinical medical physicists to understand the complexities of this mode of radiotherapy. Modern radiotherapy has substantially increased the use of various forms of stereotactic radiotherapy such as Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT), Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) and Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). For these techniques a high radiation dose is delivered in a reduced number of fractions. These treatments are not only performed with specialized, dedicated machines, but also with conventional, non-dedicated linear accelerators equipped with high resolution multi-leaf collimators. In radiotherapy, accurate dose delivered to the patient is essential. For conventional radiotherapy this has been achieved by internationally adopted codes of practice and standardized radiotherapy techniques. However, many of these techniques are not applicable for stereotactic radiotherapy. This course will instruct the participant on how to ensure the quality of stereotactic radiotherapy to provide patients with safe and effective treatments. Topics: Justification for using stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). The physics of (SRT) with an emphasis on small field dosimetry. Simulation and Treatment planning for SRT. Treatment delivery of SRT to include the technologies, motion management and image guidance. Radiobiology of SRT including fractionation and dose constraints. Audits, Clinical trials and quality control. Prerequisites: This workshop is for clinically qualified medical physicists (CQMPs as per IAEA publication HHS25) from United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA Member States who hold a postgraduate-level university degree, preferably in medical physics. The candidate should also have at least 3 years working experience in a hospital and must participate in stereotactic radiotherapy in the clinic. Participants should have an understanding of IAEA TRS-398, ‘Absorbed dose determination in external beam radiotherapy’ and IAEA TRS483, “Dosimetry of small static fields used in external beam radiotherapy”. The process of selection of participants might include a mandatory written examination. The workshop will be beneficial to clinical medical physicists working in radiotherapy and employing treatment modalities using small fields such as SRT, SBRT and Stereotactic Radiosurgery SRS. Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.

Europe/Rome The workshop aims to enhance knowledge on performing retrospective and prospective risk analysis and managing unintended and accidental patient exposure in advanced radiotherapy techniques, thus contributing to strengthening patient safety while delivering high quality radiotherapy services. It is estimated that 50-60% of patients with cancer would benefit from radiotherapy. Expanding radiotherapy into areas with limited current access and introducing new more effective treatment techniques has the potential to save a great number of lives, but it is mandatory that the expansion is done with safety in mind, considering the complexity of this high-technology treatment modality and the potential for serious consequences when something goes wrong. The workshop would seek to target experienced medical physicists working in radiotherapy departments in hospitals. The workshop is particularly relevant to participants coming from hospitals intending to introduce new radiotherapy techniques. Participants will become acquainted with their international peers and will have a unique opportunity to establish links for their mutual support. Topics: Link between quality and safety in radiotherapy Factors responsible for the safe delivery of radiotherapy services Lessons learned from radiotherapy incidents and accidents that have occurred in the past Potential incidents in IMRT, SBRT, IGRT, IORT, 3D brachytherapy, etc. Reporting and learning from unintended events IAEA safety reporting and learning system SAFRON Measures to prevent unintended and accidental exposure Methods for retrospective and prospective risk analysis Distribution of responsibilities for patient safety Radiation safety culture 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 The school will cover key aspects of fully-programmable Systems-On-Chip (SoC) technology and its applications to Nuclear and related instrumentation. The aim is to familiarize participants with underlying software design tools and hardware platforms through tutorials and project examples in the field of nuclear applications. Traditional FPGA devices have been utilized in many nuclear and related instruments for the past few decades, allowing multiple and parallel processing of signals from radiation detectors and other sensors. These features make instruments more compact by reducing number of required processors and minimizing complexity of analog electronics for signal processing. In the last few years new programmable SoC emerged which integrate the software programmability of powerful processors with the hardware configurability of FPGAs. In the first two weeks, participants will be familiarized with software automation tools and hardware setups based on SoC, through theoretical lectures, tutorials and assisted hands-on laboratory sessions. Programming at the block logic level as well as processor level will be performed and interfacing with a wide variety of modular platforms will be undertaken. In the third week, participants will do projects and build embedded instruments for Nuclear and related applications. Candidates willing to propose open research projects are especially encouraged to apply. Topics: System on Programmable Chip architecture and design methodologies Software Automation Tools Hardware/Software System Design FPGA and VHDL for Modeling and Logic Synthesis Embedded C Language Programming High level synthesis Real-time operating system Analog to digital and digital to analog conversions Real-time data acquisition, processing and transmission Digital pulse processing techniques Particle detectors Laboratory Sessions for Hands On Training and Experimentation Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries.
