This first edition of the GdR SYMPHONIQUE Annual Meeting will bring together members of the ultra-sensitive mechanics community to address the development and exploitation of ultra-sensitive mechanical measurement. Building on the legacy of the GdR MecaQ, whose primary focus was the study of fundamental processes in interferometric motion measurement, SYMPHONIQUE expands its scope to encompass all concepts of ultra-sensitive mechanical measurement and engage with disciplinary fields capable of addressing the new scientific challenges that have emerged in the field over the past decade.

FRAME2026 is a workshop devoted to recent developments in many-body dynamics, randomness, and fluctuations. The meeting will bring together researchers working on classical and quantum many-body systems, with a particular emphasis on non-equilibrium dynamics and the emergence of universal behavior from microscopic randomness.

The workshop will cover topics at the interface of statistical physics, quantum many-body theory, stochastic dynamics, hydrodynamics, transport, integrability, chaos, and disordered systems.

Place : 149 Route de la Côte des Chavants, 74310 Les Houches

Website

This doctoral school will explore current and emerging topics in quantum optics, ultra-cold atoms & molecules, quantum simulation, and photonics, offering a program of lectures, seminars, hands-on sessions, poster sessions, and societal evening discussions. The program will promote interdisciplinary exchange, with contributions from experts across theory and experiment and special care will be taken to include several lectures from a young generation alongside more senior and established scientists.

This school will gather early graduate students to provide training on ultracold atomic systems. After a series of lectures on general aspects of the field (laser cooling, quantum degenerate gases, cold ions…), it will provide a special emphasis on dissipation and the effect of measurement on quantum systems. Fundamental aspects of open quantum systems will be discussed. In the context of quantum technologies, limits caused by dissipation, mitigation techniques, and methods to harness dissipation as a resource will be highlighted.

Don’t miss any updates—visit the training program’s website. Registration is open until July 10, 2026.

Place : L'Aiguillage, 19 rue des frigos, Paris 13e

Step into the heart of the Materials and Quantum Phenomena Laboratory at Université Paris Cité. In collaboration with L’Aiguillage, Lilay Gros-Desormeaux, a doctoral student at the MPQ, has curated this exhibition that blends art and science.

Drawing on her experience in science communication and her desire to combine it with her artistic sensibility, Lilay Gros-Desormeaux reached out to L’Aiguillage. From this instant connection and shared values, the exhibition ImmersION was born. It is at L’Aiguillage’s premises that the works will come to life. The exhibition will welcome diverse audiences with the aim of exploring science through the lens of art and building a solid bridge between the two fields.

This exhibition brings together artists from various backgrounds, who, through their works, depict the world of the laboratory—both scientific concepts and everyday life. Straddling knowledge and aesthetics, ImmersION is an invitation to question the boundaries between these fields.

The accompanying program will be announced as it becomes available.
