Subject: School on Open Quantum Systems: theory and experiment. Application deadline—May 15, 2026
To: <lorenzo...@usp.br>

The school focuses on the theoretical and experimental study of few-body and many-body systems under drive and dissipation. It will feature seven lecturers covering topics ranging from fundamental concepts—such as quantum optics and cooperative radiative processes—to advanced themes like error correction in quantum computers or non-Markovian dissipation. Participants are expected to have a solid background in advanced quantum mechanics and prior familiarity with the basics of the theory of open quantum systems is recommended (spontaneous emission, classical and quantum baths, Lindblad equation). Lecturers Tim Thomay (SUNY Buffalo, USA) – Experiments on solid state quantum optics Martino Stefanini (ICTP-SAIFR, Brazil) – Breakdown of Lindblad equation Helmut Ritsch (Innsbruck, Austria) – Fundamentals of quantum optics Raul Teixeira (Univ. Sao Carlos, Brazil) – Experiments on cold atoms and optical cavities Cosimo Rusconi (Columbia,  USA) – Cooperative quantum optics Nicola Pancotti (NVIDIA, USA) – Error correction in superconducting qubits André Eckardt (Berlin, Germany) – Controlling quantum systems by driving and dissipation: from ultraweak to stronger coupling Application deadline: May 15, 2026 Apply now
