Around 40 researchers from across the globe gathered at the International Institute of Physics of UFRN (IIP/UFRN) between May 12 and 23 to discuss the main challenges in the field of Quantum Magnonics. This emerging area, which explores the potential of magnons—microscopic waves generated by...

IIP/UFRN hosts seminar on thermodynamic anomalies and the Hubbard model

Published Tue, May 27, 2025
In some systems with strong electron interactions, heat can have an unusual effect: instead of causing particles to spread out, it brings them closer together, increasing the electronic density. This type of thermodynamic anomaly is one of the main topics of the upcoming seminar at the...

Variational Quantum Algorithms to be discussed in upcoming IIP seminar

Published Tue, May 27, 2025
Quantum computers, despite their enormous theoretical potential, are still not practical and accessible tools. One promising alternative to the limitations of this technology is Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs), a topic that will be explored in this Wednesday, May 28th, in the next Quantum...
