Summer school = Q-DYNAMO Workshop on Quantum Optics
The end of the first year of the project was commemorated by the "1st Q-DYNAMO Workshop on Quantum Optics" organised on 9.12.2024 by Prof. Mark Sadgrove at Tokyo University of Science (TUS). The Q-DYNAMO leaders from Japan Prof. Mark Sadgrove and Prof. Kali Nayak, as well as the project coordinator Dr. Teodora Kirova (seconded to TUS) presented the current research topics of each team. A special invited lecture was read by Prof. Kaoru Sanaka from TUS. The event was organised in a "summer school format" both with on-site and online participants with extensive time after the lectures, particularly dedicated for open discussions. It was targeted especially at graduate students to encourage them to participate in debates about various scientific topics, theoretical and experimental methods. Members of Q-DYNAMO teams from Tokyo, Ulm and Riga also attended the seminar in person or online. Around 10 people were present on-site, while majority of interested online participants (around 10) were from different research groups at University of Latvia
Q-DYNAMO Graduate student seminar on quantum optics
Q-DYNAMO Graduate student seminar on quantum opticsIvan Saychenko, a PhD student from University of Parma who is currently completing his 2.5 months secondment to Dr.Mark Sadgrove's group at Tokyo University of Science, presented his research topic "Numerical methods for evolving non linear Schrödinger equations" at a "Graduate student seminar on quantum optics" on 31 October 2024. The target group of the seminar was other graduate students, with the aim of encourage extensive discussions about the presented topics and the used scientific methods. Members of Q-DYNAMO teams from Tokyo, Parma, Pisa and Riga also attended the seminar in person or online
Researchers' Night 2024
During the pan-European Researchers’ Night event, organised by the University of Latvia on 27 September 2024, the project coordinator Dr. Teodora V. Kirova and the project manager MSc. Dina Bērziņa presented a poster promoting the Q-DYNAMO project to the general public. They gave an overview of the project objectives, EU and non-EU participants, as well as the planned activities.
Special attention was paid to the female student visitors with the purpose to advertise the subject and the opportunities in research and STEM education
Temple University Physics Colloquium - September 23, 2024
Participants of the Q-DYNAMO project attend the Temple University Physics Colloquium onganized by the Molecular Quantum Optics Group of Prof. A. Marjatta Lyyra.
Special talk was given by Prof. Ennio Arimondo from University of Pisa on "Superadiabatic control of quantum systems".
Other attendees included well known researchers in quantum optics and atomic and molecular physics from Lehigh University, as well as the National Institute of Standarts and Technology.
Rita Veilande from the Riga group, who is currently completing her 2-month secondment to Temple University, also attended the seminar
EURAXESS Japan webinar on cooperation between European and Japanese scientists
On November 29, 2023, a webinar organised by EURAXESS Japan on cooperation between European and Japanese scientists 'MSCA Staff Exchanges - Research and innovation projects with Europe' was held with participation of Kristin Kraav, Manuel Díaz Rodriguez, and the Q-DYNAMO project coordinator Teodora Kirova.
Kristin Kraav from the Estonian Science Council talked about the rules of the Project Competition. Manuel Díaz Rodríguez from the University of Malaga talked about his project related to the latest technology for electric vehicles. Teodora Kirova from the University of Latvia introduced the Q-DYNAMO project.
