22nd International Workshop on Computational Physics and Materials Science: Total Energy and Force Methods | (smr 4050)
ICTP
Budinich Lecture Hall (LB)
Strada Costiera, 11
I - 34151 Trieste (Italy)
The “Total Energy” is a renowned workshop about recent progress in electronic structure methods and their applications. It has been held traditionally in Trieste every two years since the 80s and become one of the most popular regular events of the international ab initio electronic structure community.
The goal of the workshop is to provide a broad view of recent developments, current challenges, and future directions of the field.
The program features invited talks and focused sessions on
- novel energy functionals
- machine learning: theory and applications
- correlated materials and excited states
- electron-phonon coupling
- materials design and discovery
- quantum computing: applications and materials platforms
- time-dependent and out-of-equilibrium phenomena
- electronic structure grand challenges in the age of AI and quantum computing (discussion session)
- semiconductors and ferroelectrics (in memory of Alfonso Baldereschi)
- semiconductors and ferroelectrics (in memory of Alfonso Baldereschi)
The workshop will also include the Award ceremony for the "Walter Kohn prize for quantum mechanical material modeling" (https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/prizes-awards/walter-kohn-prize.aspx), co-funded by ICTP and the Quantum ESPRESSO Foundation.
