Europe/Rome Antoine Tilloy (Mines ParisTech) Abstract: The Sinh-Gordon model is a 1+1 dimensional quantum field theory with a potential cosh(b phi) that is quite peculiar. It is at the same time exactly solvable (for many observables) and not well understood. I will present the results of a variational exploration of its strong coupling regime with a recent generalization of continuous matrix product states. The advantage of this method is that it does not require introducing a cutoff, UV or IR, is fully non-perturbative, typically converges fast for Hamiltonians with polynomial interactions, and gives rigorous energy upper bounds. Its application to the Sinh-Gordon model is only partly successful: observables can be computed accurately up to fairly large values of the coupling, but the ultra strong coupling regime remains difficult to access without extrapolations. As a result, the behavior near the self-dual point is not yet fully settled. I will show the basics of relativistic continuous matrix product states, explain how they typically work for phi^4 like theories or even the easier Sine-Gordon model and finally discuss my attempts at taming Sinh-Gordon.

Europe/Rome An ICTP Meeting in presence This School aims to teach a modern course in condensed matter and statistical physics, combining basic concepts with recent structural and interdisciplinary developments, with a special focus on quantum dynamics and out of equilibrium phenomena. The leitmotif of the school will be to bridge traditional methods and approaches developed in the context of strongly correlated electrons, to interdisciplinary concepts and ideas coming from quantum information theory as well as solid state and atomic physics experiments, where individual components are often thought of as qbits. The event is aimed at graduate students and junior researchers, and features a combination of theory and computational courses, as well as seminars on experimental progress in the field. Topics: Statistical Mechanics: from foundations to active matter and quantum information Analytical technique and (quantum) field theory Numerical methods: high-level programming and advanced numerical methods Coherent dynamics: entanglement, decoherence, phase transitions, driven systems, and chaos in many body physics Topological quantum matter: phases, excitations, and diagnostics Physical platforms: cold atoms, trapped ions, nanostructured materials, superconducting circuits Lecturers: S.

Europe/Rome The aim of this school is to introduce students to advanced quantum mechanics concepts relevant to the growing field of quantum technologies, via a two-fold approach combining theoretical and computational aspects. The first part of the school will feature an introduction to quantum information, computation and simulation. This part will also include a panoramic view of most quantum hardware platforms - atomic, photonic, and solid state. The second part of the school will consist of an introduction to Qutip - an open-source software to simulate quantum systems, as well as several case studies in connection to real- world applications of quantum computing and simulation. Prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is necessary. Prior knowledge of Python is highly recommended. It is also highly recommended that students study about QuTiP (there are tutorials online) before joining the school, and also for the students to bring their laptops, to do practice sessions at the school. The event is aimed at master and graduate students from all over Africa, and will feature a combination of blackboard-style lectures and tutorials on computational techniques. LECTURERS S.

Applications for the Conference ONLY can be submitted at this link. Matter-wave interferometry has remarkably advanced with systems as diverse as electrons, neutrons, cold atoms, molecules and nanoparticles. The conference Foundations of Matter-Wave Optics (FOMO) unites world experts in the field to review the state-of-art and to discuss new challenges. Matter-wave interferometers are essential tools in the exploration of the foundations of physics and have been developed into modern quantum sensors with applications in precision measurements, inertial navigation or geodesy. Since its beginning in 2010, Frontiers of Matter Wave Optics (FOMO) has become the most comprehensive bi-annual conference series in the ﬁeld of matter-wave science. It combines one week of Summer School (12-16.9) with an international conference (19-23.9.). In 2022 both meetings are hosted by the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste/Italy, which is known for scientific excellence combined with international hospitality and scenic beauty. Contributed talks, poster sessions and excursions provide ample opportunity for discussions. An afternoon session on Sept. 22, will also honor the late Helmut Rauch and the beginnings of neutron matter-wave optics, almost 50 years ago. Topics: Foundations of matter wave interferometry Matter-wave technologies: electrons, neutrons, atoms, macromolecules, nanoparticles Matter-wave sensors: gravimetry and geodesy Matter-waves in precision metrology: fundamental constants Matter-wave enabled navigation Tests of quantum physics at the interface to General Relativity & the Classical World Modeling of ultra-cold quantum devices Matter-wave science & industry Lecturers include: B.
