Quantum Information : Theory and Applications

Quantum Information : Theory and Applications

The second quantum revolution is unfolding and attracting significant attention. Indeed, these are exciting times as first applications of quantum information and technologies are becoming available. One ambitious long-term goal is a quantum computer on which one can run quantum algorithms such as the Grover search and Shor’s factorization algorithms and outperform their classical counterparts. A slightly more modest application would be optimization tasks, such as optimizing deep neural networks on a quantum processor. However, maintaining the quantum coherence that is at the core of these applications is very challenging, in particular for the near-term devices, such that quantum error correction will be a key element needed to achieve the aforementioned goals. A related complementary application is quantum simulation where one uses a controlled quantum system to simulate another physical system and thus investigate its properties.
Active Days EUTOPIA -- Challenges in Active Matter

Active Days EUTOPIA -- Challenges in Active Matter

Active Matter (AM) is a new, fast growing interdisciplinary field at the interface between biology and statistical physics that aims to understand ensembles of active particles. The term “active” refers to the ability of the particle to convert energy into work, e.g. to self-propel. The ultimate goal of Active Matter is to develop a material science of living systems and shed light on highly relevant and diverse topics such as bacterial infections, cancer growth, tissue formation, and embryogenesis, as well as on the design and synthesis of biomimetic materials, which are likely to play a fundamental in medicine in the coming years. The aim of the workshop is twofold. On the one hand, it aims to present AM as a transversal, cross-disciplinary research axis within EUTOPIA bringing together renowned international leading experts in the field and the main actors working on AM within the Alliance to discuss the main current challenges in AM.
Mini-Workshop on Collective Animal Behavior

Mini-Workshop on Collective Animal Behavior

Fascinating self-organized phenomena are observed in a large number of biological systems, including fish schools, sheep herds, as well as human communities. Collective animal behavior is studied by researchers from different disciplines, with the aim to understand important aspects of group behavior such as information transfer, synchronized movement, and collective response to environmental cues. The goal of this mini-workshop is to bring together experts on animal behavior to discuss state-of-the-art experimental, modeling, and theoretical approaches in this field.

Workshop "The interplay of complex and coherent dynamics in brain function"

Site de Saint-Martin

This conference involving CY Cergy Paris Université, École Normale Supérieure in Paris and Institut de Neurosciences des Systèmes in Marseille, will bring together scientists working in different disciplines ranging from applied mathematics to neuroscience, from physics to biology in order to address a number of cutting-edge issues around the emergence of complex and coherent dynamics in the brain. It is the final act of the ANR Project "Exact Reduction of Multiscale Neural Dynamics" ERMUNDY coordinated by Pr. A. Torcini (LPTM, CY Cergy Paris Université).
