| 3.APSMM2012 — Focus Session "Quantum Information for Quantum Foundations" at the APS March Meeting 2012 |
| Dates | 27 Feb 2012 → 02 Mar 2012 | [ID=439340]  |
| Location | Boston, United States |
| Abstract | As in the past years, the 2012 edition of the March Meeting of the American Physical Society will include a number of Sessions on Quantum Information. In particular, there will be a Focus Session devoted to foundational aspects, entitled "Quantum Information for Quantum Foundations". The aim of the Session is to provide a forum for the assessment of the recent results at the interface between Quantum Foundations and Quantum Information and to challenge the community to extend the impact of the informational paradigm to other areas of fundamental physics, in particular thermodynamics and field theory. Relevant topics include informational principles for Quantum Theory, exploration of the boundary of quantum correlations, information-processing in general probabilistic theories, fundamental structures in Hilbert space, categorical, modal, and Bayesian approaches. |
| Topics | Quantum mechanics, quantum information, quantum foundations. |

| 4.Computational Methods in High Energy Density Plasmas |
| Dates | 12 Mar 2012 → 15 Jun 2012 | [ID=422447] |
| Location | Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM),, United States |
| Abstract | High energy density physics (HEDP) is a rapidly growing field. HEDP conditions are typically from Mbar to tens of Gbar pressures and temperatures ranging from eV to GeV. This long program will focus on the computational approaches to the modeling of these extreme states of matter. It will address the scientific challenges facing the computational HEDP community and discuss the successes and failures of various methods. The long program will establish an interdisciplinary forum for researchers in HEDP.Funding for participants is available at all academic levels, though recent PhD's, graduate students, and researchers in the early stages of their career are especially encouraged to apply. Enhancing the careers of women and minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM's mission and we welcome their applications. An application is available online. Applications will be accepted through November 12, 2011 but decisions will be made starting in June. |

| 5.SIXTH INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON FIELD THEORY AND GRAVITATION-2012 |
| Dates | 23 Apr 2012 → 27 Apr 2012 | [ID=450111] |
| Location | Petrópolis, Brazil |
| Abstract | Following the philosophy that the International School on Field Theory and Gravitation must be held each three years in different Brazilian Universities and, if possible, in different brazilian states, the next meeting will take place at the National Laboratory for Scientific Computing, LNCC, Petrópolis - RJ, on April, 23-27/2012. The goal of the meeting is to promote a greater integration among many physicists from the Co-organizing institution, UNILA, Co-organizing institutions in Brazil and foreign countries such as Canada, USA, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, India, Brazil and others; to stimulate the organization of scientific events and thus contributing to local research activities; to exhibit different fields of physics and to stimulate new lines of theoretical research and technological developments in our country. Finally, we make efforts to promote the development of advanced studies, taking it to the present core of research in an strong process of affirmation of new lines of theoretical studies in Brazil. To this, we invite colleagues, collaborators, researchers, students, and friends to attend this sixth edition of the International School on Field Theory and gravitation-2012. |

| 6.Random Walks and Random Media |
| Dates | 30 Apr 2012 → 05 May 2012 | [ID=422420] |
| Location | Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, United States |
| Abstract | The field of random media has been the object of intensive mathematical research over the last thirty years. It covers a variety of models, mainly from condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, and geology, where one is interested in materials which have defects or inhomogeneities. These features are taken into account by letting the medium be random. It has been found that this randomness can cause very unexpected effects in the large scale behavior of these models; on occasion these run contrary to the prevailing intuition. A feature of this area, which it has in common with other areas of statistical physics, is that what was initially thought to be just a simple toy model has turned out to be a major mathematical challenge. |

| Location | Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, United States |
| Abstract | Mathematical general relativity is the study of mathematical problems related to Einstein's theory of gravitation. There are interesting connections between the physical theory and problems in differential geometry and partial differential equations. The purpose of the workshop is to introduce graduate students to some fundamental aspects of mathematical general relativity, with particular emphasis on the geometry of the Einstein constraint equations and the Positive Mass Theorem. These topics will comprise a component of the upcoming semester program at MSRI in Fall 2013. There will be mini-courses, as well as several research lectures. Students are expected to have had courses in graduate real analysis and Riemannian geometry, while a course in graduate-level partial differential equations is recommended. |

| Dates | 23 Jul 2012 → 17 Aug 2012 | [ID=421988] |
| Location | Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, , United Kingdom |
| Abstract | Relativistic operators are used to model important physical systems which include transport properties of graphene, and relativistic quantum field theory. This meeting will focus on the following areas of current research interest in such operators applied to mathematical physics. 1. For classical (one-particle) Dirac operators, current topics of interest include the Weyl-type theory, dissolution of eigenvalues of corresponding relativistic systems into resonances, asymptotics of the spectral function and spectral concentration as well as the role of the mass term of Dirac operators. 2. Stability of matter and asymptotic behaviour of the ground state energy for relativistic many-particle systems. 3. The interaction of photons with fast moving (relativising) electrons, positrons, and photons. |

| 21.ICERM Workshop: Monte Carlo Methods in the Physical and Biological Sciences |
| Start date | 29 Nov 2012 | [ID=462957] |
| Location | Providence, RI, United States |
| Abstract | Monte Carlo methods are one of the main tools used to study the properties of complex physical, chemical and biological systems. Since their introduction in the late 1940s, these methods have undergone a remarkable expansion and are now used in many other fields, including statistical inference, engineering, and computer science. However, the design and theoretical understanding of Monte Carlo methods is still a challenging topic, especially for those problems where rare events play the key role in determining algorithm performance. |
