 Quantum Spotlight:Quantum information is in the spotlight after several pioneering physicists in the field recently received science's most prestigious awards. Most of the awardees have long ties with ICTP. Two of the three scientists who were awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics “for experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science” -- Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger -- have participated in numerous conferences at ICTP. In addition, three of the four recipients of the 2023 Breakthrough Prize in fundamental physics are recipients of ICTP's 2017 Dirac Medal: Charles H. Bennett, David Deutsch and Peter W. Shor.

 Meet ICTP's Diploma Graduates: Mohamed AliouaneMohamed Aliouane of Algeria was among the latest group of young scientists to graduate from ICTP's Postgraduate Diploma Programme in August. "The Diploma Programme was a very nice experience for me," said Aliouane in a recent interview. "I think the best thing, in the programme and at ICTP in general, is the environment; it is perfect for studying and concentrating on your work." Thanks to his Diploma experience, Aliouane is now enrolled in a PhD programme at the Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA). Read more... | |
 In Memoriam: Valery RubakovICTP was saddened to learn of the passing of Valery Rubakov (pictured above, speaking at the 2013 Dirac Medal ceremony), one of the most prominent theoretical physicists of his generation. Professor Rubakov served on the ICTP Scientific Council from 2010 to 2020. "Rubakov has been a good friend of ICTP," said Paolo Creminelli, head of the Centre's High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP) section. "He visited the HECAP group regularly for many years and collaborated with Professors Randjbar-Daemi and Smirnov. He was a marvelous teacher and he gave many lectures at the Particle Physics and Cosmology ICTP schools, always on the blackboard of course, in pure Russian style." Read more... | |
