The field of active matter, bridging biology, chemistry, and physics, has grown rapidly in recent years, revealing a wealth of phenomena at both the single- and many-particle levels. While this effort has been overwhelmingly devoted to classical systems, it is natural to ask whether active motion can also emerge in the quantum regime—a question that opens new avenues at the intersection of quantum physics, nonequilibrium dynamics, and statistical mechanics. This workshop brings together researchers to explore these questions, share recent developments, and discuss future challenges in the study of quantum active matter.

This year’s theme - Our Ocean, Our Heritage, Our Future - celebrates the living connection between people and the ocean. It reflects the heritage, cultures, and coastal communities shaped by the sea, and it calls for a shared commitment to secure a resilient, just, and thriving ocean for generations to come. From ancient trading routes to modern innovation, the ocean is part of who we are. In 2026, Kenya invites the world to honor that heritage and work together for a healthier, more resilient ocean.

The task now is to build. As the dust settles on the seismic shifts of 2025, a transformed global health landscape is coming into view. The era of fragmented, traditional aid is over. The only viable path forward is efficiency, resilience, and strong local ownership. So, what’s next for philanthropy? It is evolving from a passive funder into a decisive, catalytic force. We are witnessing the rise of a new paradigm where philanthropic capital is deployed specifically to back local leaders and secure the surgical backbone of entire health systems. In 2026, we have moved past the theoretical. While old models falter, a new alliance is driving down mortality and securing national sustainability. Discover how early adopters are bridging the gap to national scale. The blueprint is proven, the foundation is poured: the task now is to build.

Most systems of scientific interest are interacting many-body systems. One typically describes their kinetics in terms of a low-dimensional reaction coordinate, which in general is influenced by the entire system. The dynamics of such a reaction coordinate is governed by the generalized Langevin equation (GLE), an integro-differential stochastic equation, and involves a memory function [1]. I discuss a few examples where the GLE can be used to interpret and model data in different fields of science. Protein-folding kinetics is often described as Markovian (i.e., memoryless) diffusion in a one-dimensional free energy landscape. By analysis of large-scale molecular-dynamics simulation trajectories of fast-folding proteins from the Shaw group using the special-purpose computer ANTON, I demonstrate that the friction characterizing protein folding exhibits significant memory with a decay time that is of the same order as the folding and unfolding times [2]. Memory friction effects lead to anomalous and drastically modified protein kinetics [3]. For the set of proteins for which simulations are available, it is shown that the folding and unfolding times are not dominated by the free-energy barrier but rather by the non-Markovian friction. Memory effects are also present for non-equilibrium systems. Using an appropriate non-equilibrium formulation of the GLE, it is demonstrated that the motion of living organisms is characterized by memory friction, which allows to characterize internal feedback loops of such organisms and to classify and sort individual organisms [3]. The GLE can be even used to predict complex phenomena such as weather data

The workshop aims at gathering theorists and experimentalists interested in measuring quantum information observables, such as magic and entanglement, on particles created at colliders and using these new observables as an innovative direction to probe fundamental interactions. The programme includes discussion on the recent experimental results obtained in this field, on the implications of these new observables for new physics searches, and feasibility studies for multiple final states in current and future colliders. On the theoretical side, the workshop also aims to investigate the possible integration of quantum information–theoretic concepts in quantum field theory and particle physics. It will bring together experts not only from particle physics, but also from quantum information science and nuclear theory, and will include panel discussions and overview talks to explore the broader links between quantum information, technologies, and high-energy physics.

The large-charge expansion is a powerful approach for analytically accessing strongly-coupled models at or near criticality. We focus on a sector of fixed and large global charge where it is possible to express observables as an expansion in inverse powers of the charge. I will first introduce the approach using the simplest relativistic case, namely the O(2) model. Then I will discuss how to apply the large-charge expansion to non-relativistic models which is relevant for the study of ultracold Fermi gases and nuclear physics.

In this talk, we explore the structure and solution of thermal conformal field theories (CFTs) using the conformal bootstrap approach. At finite temperature, the role of crossing symmetry is played by the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) condition, which imposes periodicity on thermal correlation functions. We present two methods for solving the resulting KMS sum rules for thermal one-point functions, assuming knowledge of the zero-temperature CFT data. The first is a numerical method that incorporates the asymptotic operator product expansion (OPE) density of heavy operators, derived using Tauberian theorems. The second is an analytical approach based on dispersion relations. We benchmark both methods against known results in free theories and two-dimensional CFTs, and subsequently apply them to O(N) models for N=1,2,3, as well as in the large-N limit and lastly to holographic CFTs.

Measurement of B-meson production cross section in proton–proton collisions at √s = 13.6 TeV with ALICE. Due to their large mass, beauty quarks are produced in hard-scattering processes with large transferred momentum, allowing their production to be computed via perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) calculations. Measurements of beauty-hadron production cross sections in proton--proton (pp) collisions provide a sensitive test of these calculations.
