Preparing to Open Quantum Matter at OsloMet
We are getting ready to welcome colleagues to the OsloMet Quantum Hub for “Open Quantum Matter: Characterization and Control”, a focused QOpen WG2–WG3 workshop on 7–9 October 2026.
We expect 20 invited speakers (25–30 participants altogether, including local colleagues). Speakers will come from institutions in Ukraine, Poland, France, Germany, India, Denmark, Finland, Portugal, Spain, Serbia, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
The meeting brings together QOpen’s WG2, which studies emerging states and phases of dissipative quantum matter, and WG3, which focuses on the characterization and control of open quantum platforms. Sergiy Denysov (OsloMet, QH Manager) leads WG3 and is organising the workshop with QOpen Action Chair Pedro Ribeiro and WG2 Vice-Leader Lucas Sá.
We will discuss quantum systems that are driven, measured, and coupled to their surroundings: how new phases emerge, how noise affects quantum devices, and how dissipation can help us prepare and control quantum states. There will be invited talks and plenty of time for discussion, comparing ideas, and finding questions we can work on together.
The workshop is entirely financed by COST through QOpen, COST Action CA24109.
We are putting the programme and practical arrangements together and look forward to welcoming everyone to OsloMet. We hope these three days will lead to new collaborations, new results, and new papers!
