SuperFluctuations 2026
Fluctuations and Highly Non Linear Phenomena in
Superfluids and Superconductors
September 7-9, 2026
San Benedetto del Tronto (AP), Campus of the University of Camerino, Italy
Jointly organized by:
University of Camerino, University of Padova, and University of Salerno, Italy
The Conference SuperFluctuations this year will be organized on-site in the beautiful seaside town of San Benedetto del Tronto (AP), in the Marche region of Italy. We will share in a highly interactive manner our recent scientific achievements and future research perspectives. During the conference we will discuss opportunities to establish large collaboration efforts or empowering existing ones, as well as to plan joint participation to international projects. Young participants will be able to look and discuss opportunities for doctoral or post doc positions. Cross-fertilization, merging of capacities, and methods will be encouraged in a interactive atmosphere.
Main Topics:
Fluctuations and BCS-BEC crossover phenomena: multicomponent and low dimensional systems.
Highly nonlinear phenomena: Josephson and Andreev effects, topological defects, vortex states.
Non-equilibrium superconductivity.
Spin-orbitronics: theory and applications.
Quantum technologies and quantum devices / sensors based on novel superconducting / superfluid systems.
Novel Quantum Phenomena with Bosons and Fermions.
Electron-hole and Excitonic superfluidity and supersolidity: theory, numerical simulations, and experimental realizations.
Innovative numerical methods: Machine Learning, its synergies with QMC, and Quantum computing.
