An Advanced Working Group on Energy Landscape Engineering and Code Optimisation (AWGELECO) will be held at Trinity College, University of Cambridge, on September 3-4, 2024 (Tue-Wed). This is intended to be a small meeting (limited to 25-30 participants) combining a sparse programme of talks with plenty of time for discussions. It is in the tradition of a successful series of 'Advanced Working Groups'.
We are coming at this topic from our expertise on slow dynamics in condensed matter systems, and we would like to offer a broader perspective here, and attempt some cross-fertilisation between different contexts where complex energy landscapes play a role--be it as a feature or a bug of the system under consideration. We are particularly interested in understanding how these topics are relevant in the context of problem solving and code optimisation on various classical and quantum platforms.
The meeting is aimed at stimulating focused exploratory discussions on these different topics, looking for possible points of contacts in the respective techniques and concepts.
There will be a handful of overview talks, as well as a limited number of short focussed presentation, to guide and supplement the discussions.
We can cover all accommodation and subsistence expenses for the participants, and there is no registration fee for the event. However, funds for travel reimbursement are limited and if your ability to participate is strictly subject to travel support, please contact C.Castelnovo at your earliest convenience with an estimate of the support you require, so that we can see to what extent we can help.
