Dynamics of Quantum matter

We explore non-equilibrium many-body dynamics in quantum systems that experience symmetry-breaking, topological, or jamming transitions. These systems encompass superconductors, charge-density wave, and magnetic materials.

Experimental Soft Matter Physics

The research is conducted within the “Light and Matter” research program. The interaction of light with matter is one of the most important fields of physics and optical processes are indispensable in many branches of modern industry.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: INQA Conference 2026

July 24, 2026

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION NOW OPEN!

We are delighted to announce that the next edition of the INQA annual conference will be held in the beautiful lakeside town of Bled in Slovenia, from November 2nd to 4th 2026. Abstract submission for oral or poster presentations is now open.

The abstract submission deadline is September 8th 2026.

This conference follows in the footsteps of previous INQA conferences in London (2022), Innsbruck (2023), Tokyo (2024) and Barcelona (2025). Papers will be solicited in all areas of continuous-time and analogue quantum computation and quantum simulation. Both experimental and theoretical topics will be discussed.

Confirmed invited speakers are Mikhail Feigel’man (CENN Ljubljana), Tomohiro Hattori (Keio University), Gianluca Passarelli (Napoli Federico II), Jakub Pawłowski (Wrocław University of Science and Technology), Madita Willsch (Jülich Supercomputing Centre) and Alessandro Zenesini (CNR-INO and Università di Trento).
