| Towards a Quantum Internet |
| Speaker: | Prof. Gerhard Rempe (Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Garching, Germany) |
| Abstract: | Quantum networks are the backbone of distributed quantum computing architectures and quantum communication. Single atoms in optical cavities constitute universal quantum network nodes capable of sending, receiving, storing, and releasing photonic quantum information. An elementary version of a quantum network based on two identical nodes in independent laboratories is presented. The transfer of quantum information and the creation of remote entanglement are achieved by the exchange of a single photon. This approach to quantum networking offers a clear perspective for scalability. |

| Stochastic Oscillations of General Relativistic Disks |
| Speaker: | Gabriela Mocanu (Babes-Bolyai University, Romania) |
| Abstract: | The general relativistic oscillations of a thin accretion disk around compact astrophysical objects are analyzed. These objects interact with the
surrounding medium through non-gravitational forces, modeled via a friction force and a random force respectively. The dynamics of the stochastically perturbed
disk can be formulated in terms of a general relativistic Langevin equation. The vertical oscillations of the disks in the Schwarzschild and Kerr geometries are
considered in detail, and they are analyzed by numerically integrating the corresponding Langevin equations. The importance of this analysis in the context of
explaining the nontrivial power spectral distribution slopes for Active Galactic Nuclei is discussed. |

| Resource Optimization and Scheduling of Generation in Electricity Energy Markets |
| Speaker: | Dr. Gerhard Lakits (Energy Management Applications / Siemens AG Austria) |
| Abstract: | Whereas everyone is talking about smart grids, bulk generation remains the main source of electricity for the next decades.
It is subject to new challenges due to the increasing impact of renewable generation (wind power, solar power,..) and uncertainties in fuel prices and supply.
The providers of bulk generation are offering to the electricity market and using mathematical optimization to improve their position on the markets.
The author will give a short overview on todays energy markets and present a state-of-the-art tool set for optimization.

| GHz/THz/FIR Conductivity in the Ferropnictides |
| Speaker: | Ewald Schachinger (TU Graz) |
| Abstract: | The Fermi surface and typical experimental results for the GHz/THz/FIR conductivity in the ferropnictides BaFe2As2 and Fe(SeTe) are discussed. Based on these Fermi surfaces a (minimum) Two-Band BCS model is proposed which can be used to describe the s+- symmetry of the superconducting gap. The properties of this model in the GHz/THz/FIR frequency region are discussed in general before the model is
applied to the analysis of experimental results which have been presented at the beginning of this talk. Caveats of the Two-Band BCS model are also discussed here. Finally, necessary extensions beyond this rather simple and intuitive BCS model necessary for a better and more consistent data analysis are noted as a future project. |

| Multipath and polarization entanglement of photons |
| Speaker: | Paolo Mataloni (Quantum Optics Group, Department of Physics, Sapienza Università di Roma) |
| Abstract: | In recent years many theoretical and experimental works have demonstrated the importance of multiqubit photon states to operate in a high-dimensional Hilbert space. By entangling different degrees of freedom (DOFs) of a single particle or two or more particles using their DOFs fundamental test of quantum mechanics and innovative quantum information protocols have been realized.
I will present some of the most relevant results obtained by us with hyperentangled 2-photon states. I will also show the possibilities offered by the “integrated quantum circuits” to overcome the structural limits of conventional bulk optics in view of an efficient implementation of multiqubit entangled photon states of increasing complexity.
