UFO is the premier international conference focused on the science and technology of generating\, manipulating\, and measuring ultrafast laser sources. It is independently organized by scientists in the field\, with strong support from industrial partners. \nContinuing its tradition of being hosted in unique and captivating locations\, the next UFO conference will be held in Furnas on São Miguel Island\, part of the Azores Archipelago in Portugal. The Azores\, known for its dramatic landscapes\, charming fishing villages\, and vibrant blue hydrangeas\, offers the ideal setting for a networking retreat with the ultrafast optics community. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the mid-Atlantic\, it provides a perfect backdrop for meaningful exchanges and collaboration. \nWe hope to see you in the Azores in October 2025.

For those who could not attend\, the recording with both talks is available here:\nhttps://engage.aps.org/dcp/resources/webinars/past-webinars \n\nUpcoming October 10 Talks\n• Dr. Tian Qiu (Princeton University)\n“Two Becomes Four: Towards Spin Surface Crossings For Charge Transfer Dynamics That Obey Momentum Conservation”\nAbstract: Charge transfer dynamics typically involve surface crossings between two diabatic states\, where spin states are often treated as degenerate. We have developed a phase space approach that\, by enforcing total momentum conservation\, naturally breaks spin degeneracy in a manner that depends on nuclear motion\, splitting the crossing of two surfaces into four surfaces. Equipped with a constrained complete active space (CAS) method to efficiently generate charge transfer surfaces\, our framework aims to reveal how nuclear motion couples to electron angular momentum and influences spin dynamics through spin-orbit coupling. This work seeks to provide a new perspective for understanding charge transfer processes and detailed spin dynamics\, with potential implications for phenomena such as chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS).\n• Prof. Kang-Kuen Ni (Harvard University)\n“Exploring the Roles of Nuclear Spins\, Quantum Coherence\, and Entanglement in Ultracold Chemistry”\nAbstract: Nuclear spins are usually not thought to participate in chemical reactions. However\, in the ultracold temperature regime\, we have a new opportunity to examine this general statement with quantum mechanical details. In this talk\, I will present our ongoing investigations into the roles of nuclear spins\, quantum coherence\, and entanglement in molecule-molecule reactions\, utilizing a one-of-a-kind ultracold KRb molecule apparatus [1]. There will be surprises and puzzles. If there is time\, I will also report entangling individual trapped NaCs molecules in optical tweezers and realizing a quantum logic gate with trapped molecules [2].\n[1] Quantum interference in atom-exchange reactions\, Science 384\, 1117 (2024)\n[2] Entanglement and iSWAP gate between molecular qubits\, Nature 637\, 821 (2025)\nRegister here for the October 10 talks:\nhttps://apsphysics.zoom.us/meeting/register/KaO1WFjGS8GPcvwchPs_mw \n\nFuture Talks in the Series\n• November 14: Bryan Changala (CU–Boulder) & Spiridoula Matsika (Temple University).

Our speaker is Professor Graham Worth (UCL) and he will talk about Simulating Photo-Excited Processes using Grids and Gaussian Wavepackets\n\nRegistration is free at\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_NZHnO6i7Sb2IJYLA6z9V9g\n\nAlternatively you can watch the live-streaming on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@QuantumBattles\n(The live chat is open for subscribers)\n\nBelow you will find an abstract and a brief bio of the speaker.\n----\nTitle: Simulating Photo-Excited Processes using Grids and Gaussian Wavepackets\n\nAbstract:\nSimulating the time-evolution of molecular systems after photo-excitation is\ncomplicated by the need to include a manifold of excited electronic states.\nThese states are coupled by so-called non-adiabatic coupling due to\nthe interaction of the electronic and nuclear motion which\nmakes the system highly quantum mechanical. As a result it is necessary to solve\nthe time-dependent Schroedinger Equation (TDSE) for reliable results.\nTo solve the TDSE\, however\, is a hard computational problem due to the\nexponential scaling of required resources with system size. The\nmulti-configuration time-dependent Hartree (MCTDH) method provides a suitable\nalgorithm that efficiently contracts the wavefunction to make it manageable\nfor many degrees of freedom [1]. Such simulations can provide a full description\nof the evolving system\, and it is possible to include the excitation by light\npulses to obtain a spectroscopic signal that can be directly compared to\nexperiments\, such as REMPI spectra [2]. It is also possible to study the\ncoherences induced in a system by a set of pulses [3]. These simulations\,\nhowever\, are constrained by the need for an analytic Hamiltonian\, which is\nusually unable to describe long-range motions. For this\, methods such as\nthe direct dynamics variational multi-configuration Gaussian (DD-vMCG)\nmethod are required that calculate the potential surfaces on-the-fly and so\nallow a flexible description of the longe-time molecular response[4].\n\n[1] Beck et al Phys.

(18) 212: 191\n\nShort Bio:\n\nGraham Worth is a Professor of Computational Chemistry at University College London.\nHe did his PhD at Oxford University developing Free Energy Perturbation simulations\nfor condensed phase thermodynamics. He then did postdoctoral work at the EMBL and\nHeidelberg University\, where he started working on the MCTDH method for the quantum\ndynamics simulations of polyatomic molecules. He is now a lead developer of the\nQuantics suite for quantum dynamics\, which includes a range of algoritjms to solve\nthe time-dependent Schroedinger Equation\, including MCTDH and Gaussian wavepacket\nmethods. His main interests are simulating non-adiabatic dynamics and photo-excited\nprocesses. Present development work focuses on generating potential surfaces on-the-fly\nusing direct dynamics.\n\nAll welcome!\n\nCarla Faria (on behalf of the Atto Fridays team) URL:https://laserlab-europe.eu/event/atto-fridays-seminar-simulating-photo-excited-processes-using-grids-and-gaussian-wavepackets/ CATEGORIES:conference calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251107 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251110 DTSTAMP:20260417T150915 CREATED:20250826T154535Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250826T154535Z UID:10000225-1762473600-1762732799@laserlab-europe.eu SUMMARY:39th University of Waterloo (Canada) Symposium on Chemical Physics DESCRIPTION: URL:https://laserlab-europe.eu/event/39th-university-of-waterloo-canada-symposium-on-chemical-physics/ LOCATION:Waterloo\, Waterloo\, Ontario\, Canada CATEGORIES:conference calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251110 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251111 DTSTAMP:20260417T150915 CREATED:20251104T110002Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251104T110002Z UID:10000259-1762732800-1762819199@laserlab-europe.eu SUMMARY:BioED webinar High Field Terahertz Pulse Generation and Applications DESCRIPTION:Dear colleagues\, \nwithin our Bioelectrodynamics webinar series\, let me invite you to a talk by Gyula Polónyi from University of Pécs\, Hungary: \n“Alternate Routes for High Field Terahertz Pulse Generation and Applications“ \non Monday\, 10th November\, 14:00 Central European Time. \nThe lecture will be available via Teams – please register for free here to obtain the meeting link. \nFeel free to spread the word further.
