The symposium „Correlations, topology and superconductivity” will be devoted to the strongly correlated many-body systems, ranging from bulk materials to nanoscopic structures, with special emphasis on novel emergent phenomena. This one-day event will be held on November 14th. Its purpose is to bring renowned experts of solid-state physics from across Poland to overview the recent discoveries concerning exotic superconductivity and topologically nontrivial states of matter and to discuss novel methodological tools for studying quantum entanglement and transport properties of the strongly correlated systems and their hybrid structures. This symposium is dedicated to Professor Karol Izydor Wysokiński on the occasion of his 50-year employment at the Institute of Physics at M. Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin.
Jubilee Conference of the Polish Relativistic Society: Kazimierz Dolny – The Center of Cosmic Discussions
The 10th Conference of the Polish Relativistic Society (POTOR) took place in Kazimierz Dolny from September 16 to 20, 2024. This year, the organizers were physicists from the Department of Theoretical Physics at UMCS, in collaboration with the Lublin branch of the Polish Physical Society. Guests from Poland and abroad discussed current issues in gravity theory, its quantum generalizations, gravitational waves, dark matter, and cosmology.
During the conference, new POTOR authorities were elected, with Prof. Patryk Mach from UJ becoming president and Prof. Marek Rogatko from UMCS appointed as vice-president.
Congratulations!
Successful Conclusion of the 30th Nuclear Physics Workshop in Kazimierz Dolny
The 30th Nuclear Physics Workshop, organized by the Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Maria Curie-Skłodowska, in collaboration with the Nuclear Physics Section of the Polish Physical Society and the Lublin Branch of the Polish Physical Society, took place from 23rd to 28th September in Kazimierz Dolny. The event brought together renowned international experts to discuss nuclear physics advancements. A special session was dedicated to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Polish-French scientific collaboration in nuclear research, with distinguished speakers from both countries highlighting key achievements and future perspectives. The workshop was a great success, fostering insightful exchanges of ideas and opening up new avenues for scientific collaboration.
We extend our sincere thanks to all participants and collaborators and look forward to the next edition of this prestigious event.
