 A commemorative event of the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics was organized at the Physics Institute of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brazil. A series of colloquia and mini-courses at the student-level, combined with a night event, Pint-of-Science-like, for the general public. No fees, but entrance is limited by the size of the corresponding places.
To mark the 100th anniversary of quantum science and technology, UNESCO has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. As part of this global celebration, members of Swiss academic institutions, the Swiss quantum industry, and science diplomacy and policymaking have come together to launch the Swiss Quantum Week.
Driven by a mission to connect the diverse stakeholders and users of quantum science and technology—from ecosystem builders and policymakers to researchers, students, and entrepreneurs—Swiss Quantum Week builds on the strengths of established, well-attended events such as QIDiS and the GESDA Summit to create a cohesive platform that includes:
• Swissnex Quantum Summit
• Quantum Industry Day in Switzerland
• The annual GESDA Summit
• Open Quantum Institute in-person gathering
• QAI Quantum Hackathon
• A Quantum Outreach Day for families and the general public
Each event is designed for a specific audience, while encouraging cross-sector dialogue and international collaboration. Swiss Quantum Week aims to broaden perspectives, foster meaningful connections, and strengthen the Swiss and global quantum landscape.
In his talk, Dr Sidhu will present recent advances across the quantum networking stack—from hardware and protocols enabling global quantum communications to the role of entanglement distribution and quantum memories. He will also share perspectives on near-term open questions and challenges in the field.
Dr Sidhu is a leading researcher in satellite-based quantum communications and one-shot quantum information theory, working at the forefront of UK’s Quantum Technologies Programme.
Join us for an exciting discussion on the future of quantum networking!
The workshop comprises three tracks, plus a plenary session, including a hands-on introduction to quantum computing and Qiskit, a session on quantum education, and a deep dive into utilizing quantum computation for exploring problems in high-energy physics and chemistry.
This workshop is co-organized by Fermilab’s SQMS Center and IBM, with support from the University of Illinois, Chicago, and the Chicago Quantum Exchange. The event will be hosted at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
Track 1: The introduction to quantum computing and Qiskit track will cover the basics of quantum computing and the Qiskit library, a popular Python library for programming on actual quantum processing units. For those without a sufficient linear algebra background, an optional linear algebra session will be provided.
Track 2: The Quantum Education Track will focus on strategies and tools for teaching quantum computing within physics, computer science, mathematics, and other STEM disciplines. This track is for educators only.
Track 3: The utility-scale quantum computing track is intended for principal investigators, graduate students, and postdocs exploring quantum algorithms and applications research directions using 100+ qubit quantum computers.
Welcome to the first edition of the International Summer School on Structured Light and Matter, organized by the Unit of Excellence LUMES at the University of Salamanca. The school will take place from July 7 to 11 in Salamanca, Spain.
The Summer School offers a week of intensive, interdisciplinary training in three key areas of current research: structured light, structured matter, and light-matter interaction. The school features 11 courses spread over 36 teaching hours, carefully structured to offer participants an advanced and practical introduction to these topics. The program combines theoretical sessions, practical modules, keynote lectures delivered by international experts, and a special visit to the Center for Pulsed Lasers (CLPU), featuring 21 researchers from the Universidad de Salamanca.
As part of the event, we are pleased to host two plenary sessions delivered by leading international researchers (Open Entry).
Celebrating the UNESCO-declared International Year of Quantum Science and Technology in 2025, the Department of Physics at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) proudly presents the 23rd annual Monday Physics Seminar, the longest-running weekly seminar series in Indonesia, featuring the special theme “100 Years of Quantum: Tracing the Historical Footsteps and Embracing Future Quantum Technology Breakthroughs.” This event, held on June 16, 2025, at the ITS Physics Department, brings together leading Indonesian experts in quantum science to explore the evolution, achievements, and future directions of quantum research, with a focus on entanglement, quantum teleportation, quantum heat engines, quantum optics, and solid-state quantum systems, and many more.
With resonances treated as eigenstates of a non-Hermitian quantum Hamiltonian, the typically challenging task of localising its complex energy eigenvalues is proposed to be replaced by (a simpler task of) localising the real quantities called singular values. Under suitable constraints (including the tridiagonality of Hamiltonian) the singular values are specified as poles of a Hermitized Green’s function expressed in terms of one or two matrix continued fractions (MCFs). Detailed attention will be paid to the criteria and speed of the MCF convergence. Multiple examples (including, i.a., the multi-bosonic Bose-Hubbard-like systems) will be recalled for illustration purposes.
Prof Miloslav Znojil is a Czech theoretical and mathematical physicist specialising in quantum mechanics, with a focus on simplified and tractable models, pseudo-Hermitian operators, and advanced algebraic and analytical methods. He earned his BSc in Nuclear Physics from the Czech Technical University (1968), followed by MSc and PhD degrees in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics from Charles University, Prague, where he was later awarded the prestigious Dr.Sc. scientific degree in 1994.
Prof Znojil has held research positions across Europe and Russia, including at the Institute of Nuclear Physics (CSAS, Rez), the J. Stefan Institute (Ljubljana), and FIAN Moscow. He currently serves as a Leading Research Worker at the Nuclear Physics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, a Research Professor at Durban University of Technology, and an independent researcher at the University of Hradec Králové.
He is Deputy Director of the Doppler Institute (Rez branch) and sits on the editorial boards of Physics and Acta Polytechnica. He has authored over 325 publications with more than 5,800 citations (h-index: 38), and is recognised internationally for his contributions to quasi-Hermitian quantum models, perturbation theory, and supersymmetry.
