QLDI Summer School in Verona (Italy) - Call for Applications
Quantum computing is the design of hardware and software that replaces Boolean logic by quantum laws. Quantum devices are still under development as are quantum languages, whose incremental evolution follows the progress in the construction of the hardware on which they are supposed to be implemented.
Starting with D-Wave Systems, the first quantum computing company founded in 1999, a number of companies, such as IBM, Google, Microsoft, Rigetti, Zapata and Xanadu are striving to build scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers and design software architectures for programming quantum algorithms on them.
The common endeavour is to demonstrate quantum systems’ capabilities that are beyond today’s classical systems.
The Summer School on Quantum Programming Languages Design and Implementation is aimed at giving the students an as thorough as possible view of the state-of-the-art research on Quantum Programming Languages at the different levels of programming: from assembly languages to higher level and universal languages that can run on all quantum devices.
Both theoretical and implementation aspects will be addressed; in particular, we will offer laboratory sessions in which the students will be able to experience quantum programming and implement quantum algorithms using Qiskit library (https://qiskit.org).
The deadline for application is September 1, 2019.
Information at the school website: http://profs.scienze.univr.it/~dipierro/SQLDI-19/
Please be advised that Verona is a busy city and it might be difficult to find an accommodation if not booked well in advance.

First CFA: Alternative Approaches to Scientific Realism
Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy
April 16-17, 2020
Topic
There has been a recent move in philosophy of science towards views that in some sense reject the strict dichotomy between realism and anti-realism, or otherwise situate themselves between these two extremes. These include varieties of structuralism, perspectivalism, and pluralism/relativism, and have been applied across various scientific domains, including physics, mathematics, biology, cognitive science, and computer science. It seems plausible that each of these views might share some motivations and have in mind a similar target, i.e. the idea that there is an attitude we could hold towards our scientific theories that is somehow ‘less’ demanding than full-blown realism, and yet somehow ‘more’ rigorous than full-blown anti-realism. This conference will bring together representatives of each of these viewpoints, in order to compare the respective progress made by each approach, and to develop a shared foundation for the future development of alternatives to traditional scientific realism and anti-realism.
Confirmed Keynote Speakers
James Ladyman, University of Bristol
Michela Massimi, University of Edinburgh
Martin Kusch, University of Vienna
Call for Abstracts (deadline 15 December 2019)
Up to three additional speaking slots are reserved for early career researchers, to be filled on a competitive basis. We welcome submission of 500 word abstracts on any topic related to the themes of the conference. Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
What is the common ground between structuralist, perspectivalist, pluralist, and relativist approaches to scientific theory and practice?
What are the major differences between these approaches?
How might insights from each approach be applied to problems faced by the others?
Should we take a different approach (qua realism) to scientific theorising in distinct fields or domains?
Could one (or more) of these approaches be collapsed into a single shared approach?
Are these approaches all ‘stable’, or do they risk collapsing into either full-blown realism or anti-realism?
Are these approaches merely provisional, until we reach a ‘completed’ science, or should we adopt an ‘in-principle’ structuralist, perspectivalist, or relativist approach towards science?
We hope to be able to cover all travel and accommodation expenses for accepted speakers, conditional on available funding. Abstracts should be suitably blinded, and submitted to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aatsr19. The deadline for submissions is December 15, 2019. Questions should be directed to Joe Dewhurst.

We invite you to participate and submit a contributed talk to the two-day symposium “History for Physics: Quantum Foundations”, to be held on September 23-24, 2019 at the Faculty for Physics of the University of Vienna (Austria). Jointly organized by the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information Vienna (IQOQI-Vienna) and the Max Planck Research Group “Historical Epistemology of the Final Theory Program” at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG) in Berlin, this symposium aims at demonstrating the importance of the history of physics within current research in physics itself. Researchers and students in physics who are not, or not yet, engaged in the history of physics are therefore particularly welcomed to join.
The core format of this symposium will be that of tandem talks. Each tandem will pair two presentations, one given by a physicist on a current research topic, the other given by an historian of physics providing the historical context to that topic.
We are delighted to announce the following two confirmed invited tandems:
David Kaiser (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Christopher Fuchs (University of Massachusetts Boston)
Olival Freire Jr. (Federal University of Bahia) and Daniel Greenberger (City College of New York)
We furthermore call for contributed talks. We welcome talks which are either
single history talks on quantum foundations
physics/history-tandems on quantum foundations
presentations of historically relevant papers in quantum foundations
In case you are interested in participating in tandem, but do not have a tandem-partner, please contact the organizers, who will then try to match tandems together. We also highly welcome history talks by non-historians.
If you wish to contribute in one of those ways, please send an abstract of your proposed talk, no longer than half an A4 page, to hfpATmpiwg-berlin.mpg.de. The deadline for applications is 30.07.2019.
Additionally, we will schedule a panel discussion on the relevance of the history of physics for research and education and its current realization within academic structures. Panelists will be announced soon.
"History for Physics: Quantum Foundations" is the first of so far two scheduled events of this kind. The second, on quantum gravity, is going to be held on November 28-29, 2019 at the Albert Einstein Institute (AEI) in Potsdam-Golm (Germany), where Alexander Blum (MPIWG) & Hermann Nicolai (AEI) and Thiago Hartz (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro) & Claus Kiefer (University of Cologne) are confirmed tandem-speakers.
Both symposia are free of charge and open to all. If you wish to attend without contributing a talk, we kindly ask for registration by sending an e-mail to hfp@mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de.
For further information please check the event-website, http://bit.ly/historyforphysics, or write to the organizers at the mentioned e-mail address.
Please feel free to forward this invitation to everybody who could be interested in attending.
With kind regards,
Bernadette Lessel (MPIWG)

Dear all,
We are pleased to announce the COSMO'19 conference, to be held at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, from Monday 2nd of September, 9am, to Friday 6th of September, 1pm. As in previous editions, the conference will address hot topics in cosmology and astroparticle physics. There will be plenary sessions every morning, parallel sessions every afternoon, and two poster sessions in the evenings. It will be a family-friendly conference, we have set up a childcare service during lecturing times. Our list of confirmed plenary speakers includes Yacine Ali-Haïmoud, Iason Baldes, Erminia Calabrese, Emanuele Castorina, Chihway Chang, David Curtin, Valerie Domcke, Lavinia Heisenberg, Yonit Hochberg, Will Kinney, Lloyd Knox, Sachiko Kuroyanagi, Mariangela Lisanti, Vivian Poulin, Alkistis Pourtsidou, Pat Scott, Matteo Viel, Walter Winter, Gong-Bo Zhao, Miguel Zumalacarregui. There will be six parallel sessions coordinated by the following conveners:
• Early Universe: Subodh Patil, Lorenzo Sorbo
• Gravitational Waves and Black Holes: Daniel Figueroa, Teruaki Suyama
• Dark Matter and Astroparticle: Marco Cirelli, Francis-Yann Cyr-Racine
• CMB, universe expansion and thermal history: Vera Gluscevic, Antony Lewis
• Large Scale Structure: Dragan Huterer, Elena Sellentin
• Modified Gravity and Dark Energy: Claudia De Rahm, Alessandra Silvestri
Aachen was the former capital of Charlemagne’s empire. It is a cute middle-sized touristic city, with monuments dating back from that time. Accommodation and food are rather cheap, and we have done some block-bookings to be sure that everybody can get a hotel room in due time (details will be circulated later). Aachen is easy to reach by train from several international airports: Cologne/Bonn, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Brussels (one to two hours). There are direct train connections to many major German cities, as well as Brussels (one hour) and Paris (two hours and a half by Thalys).
Please book the date in your agenda. Registration and abstract submission (for 90 parallel talks and 120 posters) will be open over spring, when we will circulate the second bulletin. The exact fees amount will be announced later, and will not exceed those of former editions. We will propose several activities after the main sessions: on Monday, a welcome reception; on Tuesday, a choice between several social and cultural activities (visits, excursions, games); on Wednesday, a banquet, and on Thursday, a public outreach lecture by Eiichiro Komatsu.
More details can be found on our webpage:

We are pleased to announce the COSMO'19 conference, to be held at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, from Monday 2nd of September, 9am, to Friday 6th of September, 1pm. As in previous editions, the conference will address hot topics in cosmology and astroparticle physics. There will be plenary sessions every morning, parallel sessions every afternoon, and two poster sessions in the evenings. It will be a family-friendly conference, we have set up a childcare service during lecturing times. Our list of confirmed plenary speakers includes Yacine Ali-Haïmoud, Iason Baldes, Erminia Calabrese, Emanuele Castorina, Chihway Chang, David Curtin, Valerie Domcke, Lavinia Heisenberg, Yonit Hochberg, Will Kinney, Lloyd Knox, Sachiko Kuroyanagi, Mariangela Lisanti, Vivian Poulin, Alkistis Pourtsidou, Pat Scott, Matteo Viel, Walter Winter, Gong-Bo Zhao, Miguel Zumalacarregui. There will be six parallel sessions coordinated by the following conveners:
• Early Universe: Subodh Patil, Lorenzo Sorbo
• Gravitational Waves and Black Holes: Daniel Figueroa, Teruaki Suyama
• Dark Matter and Astroparticle: Marco Cirelli, Francis-Yann Cyr-Racine
• CMB, universe expansion and thermal history: Vera Gluscevic, Antony Lewis
• Large Scale Structure: Dragan Huterer, Elena Sellentin
• Modified Gravity and Dark Energy: Claudia De Rahm, Alessandra Silvestri
Aachen was the former capital of Charlemagne’s empire. It is a cute middle-sized touristic city, with monuments dating back from that time. Accommodation and food are rather cheap, and we have done some block-bookings to be sure that everybody can get a hotel room in due time (details will be circulated later). Aachen is easy to reach by train from several international airports: Cologne/Bonn, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Brussels (one to two hours). There are direct train connections to many major German cities, as well as Brussels (one hour) and Paris (two hours and a half by Thalys).
Please book the date in your agenda. Registration and abstract submission (for 90 parallel talks and 120 posters) will be open over spring, when we will circulate the second bulletin. The exact fees amount will be announced later, and will not exceed those of former editions. We will propose several activities after the main sessions: on Monday, a welcome reception; on Tuesday, a choice between several social and cultural activities (visits, excursions, games); on Wednesday, a banquet, and on Thursday, a public outreach lecture by Eiichiro Komatsu.
