Europe/Rome The aim of the Winter College is to offer Ph.D. students and early career researchers training in quantum optics and quantum information. The College will also offer insight in the new quantum technologies involving the generation and manipulation of photonic and matter-like states. Quantum Optics, which studies how individual quanta of light interact with atoms and molecules, has been one of the most active research fields in the last years. Such endeavours have led to a deep understanding of the fundamental properties of light-matter interaction and its use to control and engineer quantum systems. Currently, taking advantage from properties like entanglement, nonlocality and coherence, photons and atoms are the key elements for quantum technologies applications. In particular, quantum information science has flourished everywhere in the world, including developing countries. Theoretical and experimental research is thriving, and leading the way to new technological developments. The Winter College will present the basic concepts as well as the most up-to-date research in Quantum Optics. An ICTP PREPARATORY SCHOOL will be organized the week before the College (from 4 - 8 February 2020) for a limited number of selected participants: http://indico.ictp.it/event/9020/ Topics: • Introduction to Quantum Optics • From Quantum Optics to Quantum Information • Open quantum systems • Modern Technologies for Quantum Photonics • Hybrid quantum optics platforms for quantum technologies • Quantum optics platforms for quantum simulation • Continuous-variable quantum information processing • Quantum cyber-security • Quantum optomechanics • Machine learning for quantum technologies • Beyond quantum mechanics Lecturers: M. Barbieri, University Roma Tre (Italy) A. Bassi, University of Trieste (Italy) I. Bloch, LMU, Munich and Max Plank Institute for Quantum Optics (Germany) V.

Europe/Rome CALL FOR APPLICATIONS OPENING SOON Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) represents a major challenge to public health worldwide. Mobile elements such as plasmids play a crucial role in Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) and AMR spread. Understanding plasmid evolution and mobility is fundamental to unravel the population genetics of plasmid-encoded genes, especially antibiotic genes. The combination of breakthroughs in sequencing and computational approaches has led to a new vision of the eco-evolutionary processes involved in HGT dynamics of pathogens. The School and Workshop will focus on modelling efforts to integrate genomic, experimental and computational results, to build a unified framework to tackle the expansion of plasmid-borne AMR. The workshop will be preceded by the one-week introductory school on bacterial evolution, population genetics and epidemiology. The school introduces general concepts in those disciplines and focuses on their applications to AMR and plasmids. State-of-the-art methods used in genetic research on plasmids will be covered. Invited Speakers include: Stephanie Bedhomme, CEFE/CNRS, Montpellier Sebastian Bonhoeffer, ETH Zurich Alessandra Carattoli, Sapienza University, Rome Trinad Chakraborty, JLU Gießen Teresa Coque, Hospital Universitario Ramón y Cajal Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino, IFOM and University of Milan Alejandro Couce, Imperial College London Lars Hansen, University of Copenhagen Michael Lässig, University of Cologne James McInerney, University of Manchester Itzik Mizrahi, Ben-Gurion University Romualdo Pastor-Satorras, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Chiara Poletto, INSERM - Sorbonne University Adam Roberts, LSTM, Liverpool Alvaro San Millan, IRYCIS, Madrid Kornelia Smalla, Julius Kühn-Institut, Braunschweig Willem Van Schaik, University of Birmingham Rob Willems, UMC Utrecht Arjan de Visser, Wageningen University Lecturers include: Fernando De La Cruz Calahorra, Universidad de Cantabria & Instituto de Biomedicina y Biotecnología de Cantabria Alice Ledda, Imperial College London Richard Neher, Biozentrum - University of Basel Luca Ferretti, Big Data Institute, Oxford Jacopo Grilli, ICTP ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome ICTP and SISSA, in collaboration with the partner institutions of the International Master Course in Physics of Complex Systems, organize the Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems from 24 February to 20 March 2020. 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 gives 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. Lecturers and Courses: Mahesh Bandi (OIST, Okinawa, Japan) Fluctuations and Information in Physical Systems Ramakrishna Ramaswamy (Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India) Synchrony in nonlinear dynamical systems Sidney Redner (Santa Fe Institute, New Mexico, USA) A Kinetic View of Statistical Physics Alessandro Silva (SISSA, Trieste, Italy) Quantum systems out of equilibrium Lenka Zdeborova (CNRS, Paris, France) Statistical Mechanics toolbox for Machine Learning Students and young researchers from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may apply for the College. Candidates are required to solicit recommendation letters to be sent by their supervisors in support of their application. Participants should have an adequate working knowledge of English. 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. RULES FOR PARTICIPATION Participants with financial support from the ICTP and Master PCS students are required to attend at least 80% of the courses. Attendance is monitored regularly. Taking the final exam for each course is mandatory for participants with financial support from the ICTP and Master PCS students. Grading system: Each course will be graded on a scale from 0 to 20. Marks higher than 10 correspond to pass. A final grade will be given for the overall Spring College with the following scale: E- Excellent - 5 exams passed A- Very Good - 4 exams passed B- Good - 3 exams passed C- Sufficient - 2 exams passed F- Fail - 1 or no exams passed Certificates of attendance will be awarded only to participants who have attended at least 80% of the courses, with no exception.
