The ICTP - Eurasian Centre for Advanced Research (ICTP-ECAR), Center for NanoScience (CeNS, Munich, Germafly) and Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM, Munich, Germany) are organizing an Advanced Workshop on Landau - Zener Interferometry and Quantum Control in Condensed Matter, to be held in ICTP-CAR Centre, IZTECH, Izmir (Turkey), from 29th September to 3rd October 2014.

The workshop will address recent developments on Landau-Zener dynamics and related quantum control in complex systems including (but not limited to) many-body effects in ultracold gases, dissipative Landau-Zener transitions, Landau-Zener interferometry in superconducting qubits, double and triple quantum dots. 'spin & charge qubits, N-V centers and nano-mechanical systems.
The centra1 idea of this workshop is to bring together various condensed matter communities, dealing with comRlex systems, where the nonequilibrium dynamics at avoided crossings is (other than in pure atomic systems) highly influenced by many-body interactions and, in many cases, environmental fluctuations.

We expect about 100 participants including about 25 invited presentations given by the world experts in order to exchange ideas and shape new links beyond the traditional community boundaries. We hope to facilitate Landau-Zener interferometry and quantum control as one of the key ectroscopic tools in condensed matter systems for the future.
