The rigorous mathematical analysis of many-body systems in quantum mechanics has been an important subdiscipline of Mathematical Physics for many decades, and has led to numerous fruitful connections between various aspects of physics and mathematics. The goal of this workshop is to bring together the key players in this and adjacent fields, to discuss the current state-of-the-art as well as possible future directions. We will also use the occasion of the workshop to honor the achievements of Jakob Yngvason, who will celebrate his 80th birthday in 2025.

This workshop on “Long-range interactions in Quantum Systems” will cover recent aspects of quantum many-body systems consisting of long-range interacting particles (magnetic and Rydberg atoms, polar molecules, ions, cavity, and solid-state). These synthetic systems have become prominent platforms for quantum simulation, featuring novel quantum phases and out-of-equilibrium phenomena.

The understanding of the rich physics exhibited by strongly correlated quantum systems has seen a rapid development in recent years, driven by a deepened understanding of their underlying entanglement structure. This includes a diverse range of topics: The interplay of symmetries and entanglement which gives rise to diverse symmetry-protected and symmetry-enriched phases, including higher-order symmetries; disorder, thermalization, and many-body localization; new analytical and numerical approached based on tensor networks, using the entanglement structure of those systems; novel developments in integrability; advances in Quantum Monte Carlo and other simulation methods for entangled quantum systems; the use of machine learning in quantum physics; applications of entanglement in quantum gravity; and many more. The aim of this two-week meeting is to bring together both specialists and newcomers in the field of entanglement in strongly correlated systems, located at the interface of quantum information and condensed matter.

International Institute of Physics (IIP)

The tropical city of Natal, a historic gem with over 425 years of heritage and home to some of Brazil’s oldest structures, offers a stunning natural backdrop where the Atlantic Ocean meets the dunes of the Atlantic Forest. It is also home to one of Brazil’s leading physics research institutions, the International Institute of Physics (IIP). Dedicated to advancing physics on a global scale, the IIP serves as a bridge between local researchers and the international scientific community. The synergy between Natal’s unique setting and the IIP’s dynamic academic environment provides an ideal venue for the first Quantum at the Dunes summer school and workshop. This event will bring together experts in Quantum Computing and Quantum Information, with a strong focus on practical challenges at the intersection of both fields.

In 2026, it will be 10 years since the first quantum computing device was put on the cloud by IBM. This event marked the beginning of an era where researchers from all over the world could access real quantum computers, assess their strengths and limitations, and develop tailor-made algorithms. Since then, several scientific fields have come together to extract the most from current-term quantum devices while preparing new algorithmic solutions for future quantum computers. The goal of this School is to expose students and young researchers to a large collection of areas in the state of the art of quantum computing, including topics of theory, hardware, and software. The current term quantum computers are imperfect, which limits some of the original quantum computing algorithms and applications. For this reason, the new generation of quantum computing scientists must know both the experimental phenomena and limitations and the possible applications, theoretical and software tools to exploit these devices.

Situated at the rapidly growing intersection of quantum physics and information theory, quantum resource theories aim to characterise the valuable resources that enable quantum technologies to surpass their classical counterparts. By developing general and rigorous methods to understand, quantify, and effectively exploit these resources, the field seeks to enable new theoretical frameworks as well as practical protocols that harness the full potential of quantum phenomena.

Since the first experimental realization of Bose-Einstein condensation in ultracold atomic gases in 1995, there have been several substantial breakthroughs. Today, systems of bosonic or fermionic quantum gases allow for an unprecedented high level of experimental control concerning all ingredients of the underlying many-body Hamiltonian. Therefore, ultracold atomic or molecular quantum gases are considered to be ideal both for quantum simulators and quantum computations. Thus, they are best capable to simulate difficult problems in quantum many-body physics as they occur in condensed matter physics and other fields of physics and at the same time allow for developing architectures for quantum computers, which will ultimately surpass classical computers. In response to the occurrence of many new research directions in recent years, it is highly desirable to give a coherent overview over the diverse facets which are now appearing, and to reflect upon the future perspectives of the field.

Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS)

A team of three leading experts in algebraic and quantum geometry will convene at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) to tackle a longstanding conjecture on the classification of vector bundles on the quantum projective line. Their collaboration aims to bridge the gap between classical algebraic geometry and emerging structures in quantum geometry, advancing our understanding of noncommutative spaces. The classification of vector bundles has been a cornerstone of modern algebraic geometry, with the celebrated Grothendieck’s Theorem providing a complete classification of vector bundles over the classical projective line. However, the quantum analog remains an open problem, representing a major challenge in the study of noncommutative algebraic geometry. A positive solution to the conjecture under investigation would significantly advance the field, providing new insights into the structure of quantum projective spaces and their applications in both mathematics and theoretical physics.

Quantum thermodynamics emerged from the need to study thermodynamic processes at the quantum realm, where effects such as entanglement and coherence play a crucial role. The field has seen rapid progress, extending far beyond its foundational roots. In the past decade, it has attracted the attention of experimentalists, who to put to test the thermodynamic laws reformulated for quantum mechanical processes, measure thermodynamic quantities such as work, heat, and entropy, verify fluctuation theorems, and even showcase quantum heat engines. Today, quantum thermodynamics is a cornerstone of quantum sciences, essential to the development of disruptive quantum technologies, from sensors to quantum computers.
