Quantum Universe 2025, October 27-31, 2025 in Avellino

The conference aims to bring together researchers from particle physics, gravitational physics, cosmology, and quantum mechanics. Modern physics faces several unresolved issues, from puzzles in theoretical particle physics (e.g. hierarchy problem, Grand Unification) to experimental anomalies (e.g. muon g-2, neutron lifetime), and questions surrounding dark matter, dark energy, quantum gravity, and the foundations of quantum mechanics. These branches are more interconnected than ever, with breakthroughs in one area often providing solutions in others. The conference will offer a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, allowing experts to share insights across these fields.

Proceedings of QU2025 will be published in International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics (IJGMMP)

The event will take place in Avellino at the Borbonic Prison, a significant historical and architectural landmark in the city center. Built in the early 19th century during the Bourbon rule, the structure reflects neoclassical design principles and has served various functions over time, preserving its historical essence.

The conference fee is €350, which includes a welcome aperitif, lunches, a welcome kit, the social dinner, and the proceedings. This reduced fee is available until July 31. After this date, registration will still be possible, but the fee will increase to €450.
Avellino

Nestled in the heart of the Campania region, Avellino is a city of rich historical and cultural significance, surrounded by the rolling hills of Irpinia. Known for its deep-rooted traditions and vibrant local identity, Avellino blends historical heritage with a dynamic modern character. The city’s historic center features notable landmarks such as the 12th-century Clock Tower and the neoclassical Cathedral of the Assumption.

Avellino is also a gateway to the scenic landscapes and renowned wineries of Irpinia, a region celebrated for its fine wines, including Taurasi, Greco di Tufo, and Fiano di Avellino. Its proximity to important cultural and archaeological sites, such as Benevento and Salerno, enhances its appeal as a destination. With its rich gastronomy, strong artisan traditions, and lively cultural scene, Avellino offers a unique combination of history, nature, and enogastronomic excellence in southern Italy.

3rd TVLBAI Workshop, August 20-22, 2025 in Hannover

The 3rd Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry (TVLBAI) workshop follows the formation of the TVLBAI Proto-Collaboration and will focus on discussing the technology and physics drivers for large-scale Atom Interferometry as well as establishing a comprehensive roadmap. The primary objectives are to bring together researchers from diverse institutions and
communities, foster strategic discussions, and develop a pathway towards Funding for Terrestrial Very-Long Baseline Atom Interferometer projects expected to become operational in the mid-2030s.

In this third iteration of the TVLBAI workshop, we are gathering in Hannover,
providing an opportunity to visit the newly established and now operational 10m
VLBAI facility. In addition to the VLBAI visits, we are offering lab tours within the
Institute of Quantum Optics and the Einstein Elevator.

Building on the success of the last two editions, this workshop will cultivate a
strong sense of community among participants. It will help to establish a
supportive network of experts and enthusiasts ready to advance the field of atom
interferometry from all over the world.

SN2025gw: First IGWN Symposium on Core Collapse Supernova Gravitational Wave Theory and Detection, July 21-25 2025, Warsaw

The LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA Collaboration invites the core-collapse supernova (CCSN) astronomy and astrophysics community for a 5-day Symposium on July 21–25, 2025, at the University of Warsaw, Poland. CCSNe are among the most violent explosions known to occur in the Universe, and the next Galactic or near-extra-Galactic exploding massive star will be one of the most interesting, and most important, astronomical events of the century. This Symposium aims to bring CCSN experts together to address how to maximize the scientific potential of the first detection of core collapse supernova gravitational waves (GWs). The Symposium hopes to bring together GW astronomers and CCSN modelers, as well as neutrino and nuclear theorists, neutrino astronomers, and astronomers across the electromagnetic spectrum.

The sensitivity of GW detectors and progress on CCSN modeling are unprecedented, and we expect them to further advance in the coming years. A joint effort across communities has great potential to fully utilize these advances for CCSN GW discovery. Each day, we will host (before lunch) a set of lectures on one of the key topics listed below, to establish a common understanding and a common language. Moreover, each day (after lunch) will also include invited and contributed talks, as well as discussion. The focus topics of the Symposium are:

Day 1: CCSN Theory
Day 2: CCSN Gravitational Wave Detection and Parameter Estimation
Day 3: CCSN Neutrino Detection
Day 4: CCSNe across the Electromagnetic Spectrum
Day 5: CCSNe over the Next Ten Years

The proceedings of the Symposium will be published in a special issue of Classical and Quantum Gravity. We hope the proceedings will serve as a reference for students, postdocs, and faculty in, or entering, the field, serve to capture the current state of core collapse supernova gravitational wave astronomy and astrophysics, outline lessons learned, and provide recommendations for future development.

Everyone who wishes to advance the field of CCSN GW science is welcome!

First International Latin American Conference on Gravitational Waves: 10 years since first detection, September 15–19, 2025 Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE)

A decade ago, science witnessed an extraordinary milestone: the first direct detection of gravitational waves, predicted by Albert Einstein in his Theory of General Relativity in 1915. These ripples in spacetime, generated by extreme cosmic events such as black hole mergers, remained merely a theoretical prediction until September 14, 2015, when the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) experiment captured this historic signal.

This achievement revolutionized astrophysics and earned the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics for Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish, and Kip S. Thorne, recognizing their essential contributions to the design and implementation of LIGO, as well as the data analysis that confirmed the phenomenon.

The First International Latin American Conference on Gravitational Waves celebrates this milestone by bringing together researchers from across Latin America to discuss advancements in detection, theory, and instrumentation in the field of gravitational waves. Moreover, the event serves as a unique opportunity to unify and strengthen the Latin American scientific community, fostering institutional partnerships and collaborations that solidify the region’s presence in this cutting-edge field of science.

With a comprehensive program, the conference will feature lectures by renowned experts, technical sessions, discussion panels, and presentations of recent research. The primary goal is to foster the growth of the Latin American scientific community and encourage international cooperation, promoting regional leadership in a field that shapes our understanding of the universe.
