Announcement
Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the GDR NBODY Workshop titled:
“Electron Many-Body Interactions with Quantum Particles and Fields” to be held in Strasbourg in January 15-17, 2025, at the Collège Doctoral Européen.
The workshop will start at 13:45 (on Wednesday, January 15) and end at 13:00 (on Friday, January 17).
Contributed talks (for which participants can apply) will be given in addition to keynote and invited lectures (to be announced). A poster session will also be organised. Registrations will soon open (stay tuned!).
Workshop Scope:
This workshop will explore the latest advancements in electronic structure modeling, focusing on the interactions between electrons and other particles or photonic fields. There will be thus two key themes:
- Electron-Nucleus Interactions: Investigating how electrons interact with nuclei in quantum systems, providing fresh insights from advanced computational and theoretical methods. These approaches enhance our understanding of atomic, molecular, and condensed matter structures and dynamics.
- Polaritonic Chemistry: A pioneering field studying electron-photon interactions in systems where electrons couple with photon modes in a cavity, forming hybrid states known as polaritons. This rapidly advancing area offers exciting opportunities to control light-matter interactions, with wide-ranging implications for chemistry, materials science, and quantum technologies.
Our aim is to bring together participants from France and abroad who are interested in these topics, fostering collaboration among experts in these areas, which lie at the frontier between chemistry and physics.
We look forward to welcoming you to Strasbourg!
Best regards,
