The school focuses on the theoretical and experimental study of few-body and many-body systems under drive and dissipation. It will feature seven lecturers covering topics ranging from fundamental concepts — such as quantum optics and cooperative radiative processes — to advanced themes like error correction in quantum computers or non-Markovian dissipation. Participants are expected to have a solid background in advanced quantum mechanics and prior familiarity with the basics of the theory of open quantum systems is recommended (spontaneous emission, classical and quantum baths, Lindblad equation).
