Dear All,

You are most cordially invited to the 2023 Salam Distinguished Lectures Series by Professor Sandu Popescu, from the University of Bristol. The Lectures will take place at the ICTP in the Budinich Lecture Hall and will also be livestreamed from the ICTP website.

Professor Popescu will deliver three lectures on topics related to the fundamental aspects of quantum physics as follows:

Wednesday 25 January 2023: Lecture 1 @ 16:00 hrs CET: The smallest possible thermal machines and the foundations of thermodynamics
Thursday 26 January 2023: Lecture 2 @ 16:00 hrs CET : Quantum non-locality and beyond
Friday 27 January 2023: Lecture 3 @ 11:00 CET: Multiple-time states and the flow of time in quantum mechanics

Professor Popescu's main field of research centres on the conceptual and fundamental aspects of quantum physics. He is a pioneer of quantum information, best known for his work on entanglement and the associated phenomenon of non-locality, which are crucial for our current understanding of quantum theory. He has also worked on many other aspects of quantum theory, ranging from the very fundamental, to designing practical experiments (such as the first quantum teleportation experiment), to patentable commercial applications.

Light refreshments will be served after each talk.

The Abdus Salam Distinguished Lecture Series receives generous support from the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS).

We look forward to seeing you at these special events.

Best regards,

Office of the Director, ICTP
