Invitation to ICTP Colloquium and Opening Ceremony of the Trieste Institute for the Theory of Quantum Technologies (TQT) on Monday 25 March 2019 at ICTP

[ICTP Director]

Dear All,

You are most cordially invited to a special ICTP Colloquium by Prof. 
Cirac in conjunction with the opening ceremony of the Trieste Institute 
for the Theory of Quantum Technologies (TQT) on Monday 25 March 2019 at 
the ICTP, Budinich Lecture Hall, starting at 11:00

Prof. Ignacio Cirac from the Max-Planck Institut für Quantenoptik, 
Germany, will give an inaugural lecture on "Quantum Simulations and the 
difficulty of solving Quantum many-body systems" within the ceremony for 
the launch of the new Trieste Institute for the Theory of Quantum 
Technologies (TQT), a new initiative between ICTP, SISSA and the 
University of Trieste.

The new Institute for the Theory of Quantum Technologies has been 
established as a joint venture to address the significant and growing 
number of researchers working in the field of the so-called "Quantum 
Technologies" in universities and research institutions in the region, 
taking into account the high quality of scientific production in this 
field and the need to unite and coordinate activities and skills into an 
Inter- organizational Institute. "TQT" will be an international centre 
of excellence promoting theoretical research in the field of Quantum 
Technologies, serving as a catalyst for theoretical activities not only 
in Italy, but also in the neighbouring regions of the former Eastern 
Europe reaching out to also engage developing countries.

We look forward to your participation on this special occasion.

With best regards,

Director's Office, ICTP
