CETI Constellations: Entanglment

A creative exploration by over 50 artists, scientists, and technologists of the absurd and powerful idea of quantum entanglement — “spooky action at a distance” where particles mysteriously and instantly exchange information across the universe in fantastical ways. Through enigmatic creations and thought experiments, we investigate the unreasonable theory of entanglement and its strange implications (teleportation, extraterrestrial communication) through objects and installations that secretly communicate and influence each other in fantastic and marvelous ways.

CETI Constellations: Unceratinty

CETI Constellations: Uncertainty brings together artists, technologists, scientists, engineers, musicians, and hackers for collaborative creative experiments to engage with the powerful ideas and implications of quantum science and technology, celebrating 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics

Uncertainty

A creative exploration of the absurd and powerful ideas and implications of quantum that transformed our understanding of the universe and our interpretation of reality. Through enigmatic creations, we interpret the many structures of reality, exploring the surreal and strange notion of short-lived particles that linger through their permanent effects in the world, and try to reconcile our minds so enamored of certainty with the unsettling yet uncanny sense that perhaps all is not as clear as it seems.

Modern Communication Networks & Quantum Technologies

The summer school “Modern Communication Networks and Quantum Technologies” (27–31 July 2025, Dilijan) celebrates Quantum Year 2025 as part of the QWAVE initiative. Organized by RAU with Radiant Minds as a co-organizer, the program features expert lectures from the General Physics and Quantum Nanostructures Department of RAU alongside interactive experiments conducted by Radiant Minds.

Tailored for schoolchildren and bachelor students, the event offers a unique opportunity to dive into quantum physics, modern communication technologies, and hands-on demonstrations, including telescope observations under the night sky. Participants will explore cutting-edge topics such as structured light and quantum communication, while enjoying creative experiments like “Alice and Bob: A Quantum Love Story” and “Starry Eyes: A Night with the Telescope.”

By combining high-level lectures, hands-on experiments, and interactive discussions, the summer school aims to inspire the next generation of scientists and strengthen Armenia’s presence in the global quantum science community.

NITheCS Colloquium: ‘A Brief History of Open Quantum Systems’

Abstract

The theory of open quantum systems plays a pivotal role in our understanding of the Universe, bridging various fields spanning quantum information and thermodynamics to measurement and decoherence. In this talk, I will attempt to cover some of the key historical milestones in the development of the theory, tracing its evolution from fundamental principles to modern-day applications. I will then present some aspects of my own research, with a particular focus on the relevance of open quantum systems to quantum technologies.

Biography

Graeme Pleasance is a postdoctoral researcher in the Quantum@SUN group at Stellenbosch University, led by Prof. Francesco Petruccione. He graduated with an MSci in Theoretical Physics from the University of Birmingham in 2013 and received his PhD from the University of Sussex in 2018. From 2018 to 2022, he held a postdoctoral research position in the Quantum Research Group at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. His research interests lie broadly in the theory of open quantum systems, quantum thermodynamics, and quantum information. Currently, he is working on the development of nonperturbative techniques for treating strongly-coupled open quantum systems, with applications to nonequilibrium thermodynamics.
