Workshop on Quantum Simulators of the Future: From Dynamical Gauge Fields to Lattice Gauge Theories

This Workshop will gather world-leading groups that design, realize, and characterize a new generation of simulators with ultracold atoms and beyond. It will address novel quantum simulators of statistical gauge fields, dynamical lattices, and lattice gauge theory models (LGT), as well as connections to quantum computing and tensor network methods.

Speakers

  • Monika AIDELSBURGER, LMU Germany
  • Mari Carmen BAÑULS, MPQ, Germany
  • Titas CHANDA, IIT Indore, India
  • Panos CHRISTODOULOU, ETH, Switzerland
  • Stefan KUHN, DESY, Germany
  • Francesca FERLAINO, IQOQI, Austria
  • Philipp HAUKE, University of Trento, Italy
  • Markus OBERTHALER, Heidelberg University, Germany
  • Federica SURACE, Caltech, USA
  • Bing YANG, Southern University of Science and Technology, China
  • Jakub ZAKRZEWSKI, JZ Jagiellonian University, Poland

The registration for the “The Quantum Simulators of the Future” is open

The Italian city of Trieste will host “The Quantum Simulators of the Future” workshop. The Dynamite project is co-sponsoring the event, and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is organizing it locally. The workshop will occur at the ICTP from February 20th to 22nd, 2024. Thirteen confirmed speakers will attend, bringing together some of the most influential and pioneering groups in quantum simulation

Maciej Lewenstein selected as Optica’s 2024 Fellow Class

The Board of Directors of Optica (formerly OSA) recently elected 129 members from 26 countries to the Society’s 2024 Fellow Class. The selection of Optica Fellows considers several factors, including outstanding contributions to research, business, education, engineering and service to Optica and its community. The Board chose ICREA Professor at ICFO Dr. Maciej Lewenstein for this year’s Fellows Class, recognizing him “for outstanding theoretical contributions to atto-optics, atto-science, quantum optics, and quantum information.”
