In Quy Nhon City, a summer school in quantum technology has been introduced for advanced doctoral and postdoctoral students. 99 scientists from 11 prestigious institutions across the world have registered for the ‘Advanced Summer School in Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Gravity’ taking place at the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science and Education from July 10 to July 29.
This will be the first time in history that such a meeting has ever taken place away from France, according to Tran Thanh Van, a Vietnamese-French physicist and the head of Rencontres du Vietnam (Meet Vietnam), an official partner of UNESCO that sponsors international scientific conferences and schools to promote interactions between scientists in Vietnam and the Asia-Pacific region and their counterparts in other parts of the world. The latest summer program is the 2023 installment in a biannual series of Advanced Summer Schools in High Energy Theoretical Physics, which are typically held at Cargese or Les Houches. Scientists from 11 universities and research institutions, including Cornell, Harvard, Rutgers, Princeton, Caltech, Stanford Amsterdam, Stony Brook, and Ecole Polytechnique, make up the 12 lecturers.
Regarding the following subjects quantum gravity, string theory, black holes, amplitudes, holography, cosmology, quantum information theory, theoretical condensed matter, and artificial intelligence there will be both intermediate and advanced courses. The program, according to the organizers, leaves plenty of time for debate. Advanced doctorate students and postdoctoral fellows from Vietnam and other countries make up the 80 students who are in attendance by invitation. Van said, his expectation that the summer program will provide the conditions for international experts to visit and present the most recent developments and findings to their Vietnamese counterparts.
