CERN-MPQ-UIBK School on Quantum Simulation of Fundamental Physics
Description
The CERN-MPQ-UIBK school on Quantum Simulation of Fundamental Physics 2026 is a three-week advanced training program dedicated to quantum simulation methods and their applications to high-energy and many-body physics.ย
The first edition will take place at CERN from August 17th to September 4th, 2026, and will be held in person.
ย
The school combines morning lectures with afternoon exercise sessions and supervised group projects.ย
Core topics include lattice gauge theory (introductory and advanced), quantum simulation platforms (AMO systems, trapped ions, cold atoms, superconducting qubits), tensor networks and classical simulation methods, basics of heavy-ion physics, and quantum algorithms for real-time evolution.
ย
The aim will be to introduce key concepts and develop an understanding of important topics in this field.
It will consist of six courses:
ย
First week.-
โข Pilar Hernรกndez (IFIC, Valencia) โ Introductory LGT
โข Juan Josรฉ Garcรญa-Ripoll (CSIC, Madrid) โ Quantum simulator implementations
ย
Second week.-ย
โข Harvey Meyer (CERN-TH, Geneva) โ Advanced topics on LGT
โข Stefan Kรผhn (DESY, Zeuthen) โ Tensor networks
ย
Third week.-
โข Aleksas Mazeliauskas (Heidelberg) โ Introductory HI and QCD thermalization
โข Yuan Su (Amazon, t.b.c.) โ Quantum algorithms for real-time evolution
ย
The school is open to PhD students and junior postdoctoral researchers, with a maximum of 50 participants.ย
There will be a school fee of 50CHF.
Organizers: Mari Carmen Baรฑuls and Rahul Trivedi (MPQ, Munich), Torsten Zache (UIBK), Michele Grossi, and Enrique Rico (CERN)
