The III International Workshop on Quantum Non-Stationary Systems will be held in Brasilia - Brazil, from August 26th to 30th, 2024. This third meeting will focus on a variety of research fields, specially on quantum fields under time-dependent boundary conditions, dynamics of quantum many-body systems, quantum thermodynamics and other quantum phenomena under external modulations. The main goal is to bring together experimentalists and theoreticians in order to foster discussions and collaborations. To achieve this, there will be only a small number of invited and contributed talks, thus leaving enough time for discussions and poster presentations.

 

 

We hope to provide an inspiring environment not just for the speakers, but mainly for the students that will certainly greatly benefit from the expected high scientific level of the event.

History of the QNS Workshops

 

First edition 

On October 19-23 of 2009 the International Center for Condensed Matter Physics (ICCMP) of University of Brasilia, in Brasilia - Brazil, hosted the first edition of the International Workshop on Quantum Nonstationary Systems. The meeting was organized by Viktor V. Dodonov (University of Brasilia, Brasilia, Brazil), Vladimir I. Man'ko (Lebedev Physics Institute, Moscow, Russia) and Salomon S. Mizrahi (Federal University of São Carlos, São Carlos, Brazil), and gathered 80 attendees from 16 different countries. The 5-days workshop consisted of poster presentations, city tour, banquet and 34 invited talks. Figures below show the poster and the official photo of the event:

The proceedings of the event with 17 research articles were published in the Special Section CAMOP (Comments on Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics) of Physica Scripta: V. V. Dodonov and M. A Man'ko, CAMOP: Quantum Non-Stationary Systems, Phys. Scr. 82, 031001 (2010). DOI: 10.1088/0031-8949/82/3/031001

 

Second edition

13 years after the first edition, in 2022, the professors from the Institute of Physics of University of Brasilia, Alexandre Dodonov, Caio Cesar Holanda Ribeiro, Olavo Leopoldino da Silva Filho and Viktor V. Dodonov started to conceive an idea that it would be nice to organize the second edition of the workshop to discuss novel exciting topics that appeared in the field of Nonstationary Quantum Phenomena over the past decade. Besides, this would be an excellent opportunity to celebrate the 75th birthday of Viktor V. Dodonov and his retirement from University of Brasilia, permitting a reunion with long time colleagues, former students and collaborators, as well as getting to know new researchers and students in such a rapidly evolving field. The event would occur at the recently established International Center of Physics (ICP) of University of Brasilia -- the restructuring of the former ICCMP made in 2022 with the goal of contemplating all areas of Physics and to promote collaborations with other research institutions, to assist with academic mobility of students and researchers and to disseminate the scientific knowledge by hosting seminars, colloquia, conferences and other scientific events.

 

The Second International Workshop on Quantum Nonstationary Systems took place in the Auditorium of ICP from August 28th to September 1st, 2023. It was organized by Alexandre Dodonov, Viktor Dodonov, Caio Cesar Holanda Ribeiro and Olavo Leopoldino da Silva Filho, while Bernardo de Assunção Mello coordinated the online transmission of the presentations. The event, which was sponsored by Fundação de Apoio à  Pesquisa do Distrito Federal (FAPDF) and by the Institute of Physics of University of Brasilia, occurred in the hybrid format, with 21 invited speakers attending in-person and 18 remotely. The workshop gathered more than 60 participants from 16 different countries and consisted of poster presentations, city tour, invited talks and banquet; it is worth noting that 17 attendees were also present in the first edition. The Book of Proceedings of the second edition will be published by Livraria da Física, and it is currently in press. Moreover, all the presentation are stored at the ICP’s channel on YouTube: www.youtube.com/@cifunb

About Brasilia - Brazil

 

Brasilia was inaugurated by President Juscelino Kubitschek. The new capital was a bold plan and acquired the status of symbol of 20th century urbanism and modern architecture.

 

Brasília is the 3rd capital of Brazil. The first was Salvador, Bahia, and then the city of Rio de Janeiro. The idea behind building a new capital was to populate the center of the country, as well as keep the capital safe from possible maritime attacks.

Brasília, with more than 2.5 million inhabitants, had its basic project, called Plano Piloto, conceived by urban planner Lúcio Costa and architect Oscar Niemeyer. The design resembles an airplane and was listed by UNESCO as a Cultural Heritage of Humanity. It is the city with the largest heritage area in the world - 112.5 square kilometers.

 

The Pilot Plan is formed by the meeting of two axes, Monumental Axis and Road Axis, embraced by Lake Paranoá. The Monumental Axis has many attractions: the Praça dos Três Poderes, the Palácio do Planalto, the National Congress, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Brasilia and the TV Tower (Torre de Televisão).

 

Along the Road Axis are the residential blocks, divided between North (North) and South (South). In Brasilia, all construction must comply with pre-determined characteristics in Lucio Costa's project. Residential buildings, for example, are supported only by columns and have their pilotis open to extensive green areas. Parque da Cidade Dona Sarah Kubitschek, better known as Parque da Cidade, is one of the main outdoor leisure centers in the capital. It has 420 hectares and is one of the largest urban parks in the world. It also has sports courts, amusement parks, an artificial lake, barbecue pits, an equestrian center and jogging tracks. Lake Paranoá, which has a shoreline with excellent restaurants and bars, brings together water sports athletes on weekends to practice sports such as Stand Up Paddle (SUP), canoeing and kitesurfing.

 

Square of the Three Powers (Praça dos Três Poderes)

Praça dos Três Poderes houses the headquarters of the three branches of government: the Planalto Palace (executive branch), the National Congress (legislative branch) and the Federal Supreme Court (judiciary branch). The Square and the buildings that surround it are works by Oscar Niemeyer and Lúcio Costa.

Metropolitan Cathedral of Brasilia

The Metropolitan Cathedral - Nossa Senhora Aparecida or simply Catedral de Brasília, is a Brazilian Catholic temple, in which the chair of the Archdiocese of Brasília is located, located in the federal capital, south of the S1, in the Monumental Axis, region of the Esplanada dos Ministérios. Its architecture was designed by Oscar Niemeyer and is sometimes considered his masterpiece, thanks to which the architect won the Pritzker Prize, considered equivalent to the Nobel Prize for his profession, in 1988.

Alvorada Palace

The Alvorada Palace is a building located in Brasilia, capital of Brazil. The palace is designated as the official residence of the President of Brazil. It is located on the shores of Lake Paranoá, having been the first building inaugurated in the Federal Capital, on June 30, 1958.

TV Tower (Torre de Televisão)

The TV Tower is a visual landmark of the city. It is the second tallest structure in Brazil, at 230 meters high, it can be seen from afar. In addition to being seen from afar, the TV Tower impresses with its grandeur and catches the eye when seen up close. It is no wonder that the point is one of the most visited attractions in the capital. The project is by Lucio Costa, architect and urban planner responsible for the Plano Piloto project for the new capital. It was inaugurated in 1967 to receive radio and TV antennas.

Dona Sarah Kubitschek City Park

Parque da Cidade Dona Sarah Kubitscheck, which is located in Brasília (DF), is considered the second largest urban park in the world with its 4,200,000 m² of area in total (the first is the Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland with 7,000 .000 m²). The venue brings together the work of the capital's iconic quartet, its design by Oscar Niemeyer, landscaping work by Burle Marx and the urban area developed by Lúcio Costa, as well as a collection of tiles by Athos Bulcão.

Pontão do Lago Sul

Pontão do Lago Sul, one of Brasília's postcards, was inaugurated in March 2002. It has several bars, restaurants, ample parking and piers. It often hosts fairs, exhibitions and shows.

Historical and Geographical Institute of the Federal District

The Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do DF is a museum that, since it was created, has collected historical material related to the Midwest region, always emphasizing those referring to the history of Brasília and Brazil, as well as those dealing with our geography, genealogy and anthropology. Here there is the Museum of Image and Sound, a permanent exhibition of the work and life of JK, a library, the chair where President Juscelino sat during the 1st mass in 1957 and the Maracangalha jeep that served Bernardo Sayão and JK.

JK Memorial

The JK Memorial was designed by Oscar Niemeyer and is located in the Monumental Axis. It was conceived as a museum and opened in September 1981, two years after the death of former President Juscelino Kubitschek. At the site, JK's body and various belongings are found. The chosen location was symbolic, in the Cruzeiro region, where the first outdoor mass took place in the future Capital, on May 3, 1957, marking the beginning of the construction of the city.
