The school is designed to encourage women to take up physics as a career. The sessions will be centered on some simple physics experiments, conducted by the students, or as demonstrations. The subsequent discussion will focus on theoretical aspects motivated by the experiments and explore physical ideas and theory in an open ended manner, so as to bring out the excitement and interconnectedness of the subject. We will also have problem solving sessions and special lectures by invited speakers. Participants will be required to stay on the ICTS campus and attend the entire school in order to maximally benefit from the experience.Eligibility criteria: The school is open to women studying for a bachelor’s degree/Integrated Masters degree with physics as a subject, and are entering their second or third year.  This is a residential school and the selected participants will be fully supported. No registration fee. 

The dialogue between quantum information and quantum matter has fostered notable progress in both fields. Quantum information science has revolutionized our understanding of the structure of quantum many-body systems and novel forms of out-of-equilibrium quantum dynamics. The advances of quantum matter have provided novel paradigms and platforms for quantum information processing.
This conference aims to bring together leading experts at the intersections of quantum information and quantum matter. Key topics include: (i) quantum error correction, (ii) quantum dynamics, and (iii) quantum simulation.

Join us for a one-day hybrid symposium as we delve into the groundbreaking discoveries from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and the extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array (eROSITA). This first-of-its-kind-in-India event will have eminent scientists from these large collaborations, talking about these surveys, offering an opportunity to explore the frontiers of research in cosmology and large-scale structures of the Universe. The symposium is aimed at looking at the latest revelation concerning the mysteries of dark energy, new constraints of neutrinos, the latest map of the large-scale structure of the universe, and unveiling an all-sky catalogue of the largest virialized objects in our Universe shining brightly in X-Rays. These two latest and largest surveys bring unique insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies, the distribution of matter on cosmic scales, and the elusive nature of dark matter.Rarely in the history of astroparticle physic...

The dynamic field of quantum physics and artificial intelligence is expanding across both academic and industrial landscapes. This mini-course offers an introduction to computational techniques currently utilized in the quantum sector, highlighting non-academic career paths for individuals interested in quantum physics and machine learning. The program features two lecture series: one on generative modeling - covering topics (such as restricted Boltzmann machines, recurrent neural networks, and transformers) - and the other on quantum machine learning algorithms. Participants will also benefit from practical coding tutorials, networking opportunities, and related events about the landscape of Quantum and AI.

As settlers, we thank all the generations of people who have taken care of this land for thousands of years. We are connected to our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation real in our communities.

The Earth’s climate is dictated by atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, spanning over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales that undergo multi-scale interactions resulting in energy transfers across a multitude of scales. The energy transfers across these multi-scale regimes are key to the understanding of the energy cycle, but their quantification remains poorly constrained. Physical processes such as turbulent mixing and instabilities are difficult to observe or resolve in the numerical models and are often parametrized. Consequently, the question of energy-consistent closure in ocean and climate models, which heavily rely on parametrizations, remains open and challenging to address. To address these questions, a combination of analytical theories, numerical models, and observational measurements is necessary to advance our understanding of oceanic and atmospheric dynamics.The meeting spans two weeks addressing multi-scale and multi-physics topics in geophysical fluid dynamics inc...

The second annual SciComm Collider workshop will bring together a group of the most innovative science communicators helping to connect the public with topics in physics and astronomy for a three-day workshop aimed at sharing ideas, creating new collaborations, and exploring ways to more effectively engage the public with the most exciting ideas in science. The workshop will consist of short seminars, interactive sessions, and opportunities to brainstorm new ideas with fellow communicators and creators, as well as venues for interaction between invited science communicators and Perimeter outreach/communications team members and researchers.
