A deeper understanding is particularly needed as to whether the stationary states are equilibrium or nonequilibrium states. To this end we examine at first how the driven-dissipative nature of a photon Bose\u2013Einstein condensate modifies the condensation process [1]. To this end, we consider a rate-equation model, which can be derived microscopically [2]. It depends on external parameters such as emission and absorption rates as well as cavity photon losses. In steady state, the photon occupation follows an open-dissipative Bose\u2013Einstein distribution whose chemical potential is set self-consistently by the dye\u2019s ground- and excited-state populations. We show that driven-dissipative parameters strongly alter the distribution and use these results to distinguish photonic condensation from both atomic condensation and lasing. Although open-dissipative quantum fluids have extensively been studied numerically, analytical descriptions are rare. Here we show that generalizing the standard optimization method for closed condensates yields a projection optimization method, which is applicable for open-dissipative systems [3]. As an example we analyze a complex Gross\u2013Pitaevskii equation that heuristically models a harmonically trapped photon Bose\u2013Einstein condensate. Together with established methods from hydrodynamics, we obtain an approximate dynamical vortex solution and demonstrate how open-dissipative parameters affect both vortex size and stability. The resulting information is useful for possibly realizing vortices in photon BoseEinstein condensates. References [1] J. Krau\u00df, E. Stein, and A.

In this talk, I will present a machine-learning approach to the quantum control of superconducting transmon qubits based on the numerical solution of the Lindblad equation in Liouville space. Our approach begins by solving the open-system dynamics of a multilevel transmon driven by microwave pulses with different amplitude and phase modulations. These simulations generate large training and testing datasets that are used to train a convolutional neural network capable of learning the mapping between pulse parameters and the resulting quantum evolution. Remarkably, the trained network not only reproduces the numerical solutions of the Lindblad equation with high accuracy, but also identifies pulse profiles that naturally suppress leakage into higher excited states. In particular, the network independently discovers phase modulations with an approximately quadratic time dependence, closely related to pulse-shaping strategies known to reduce leakage in weakly anharmonic systems. Using the trained model, we demonstrate the efficient synthesis of arbitrary single-qubit operations spanning the entire SU(2) group. Finally, I will present preliminary results extending the method to two-qubit systems, where the neural network is used to engineer microwave pulses implementing high-fidelity CNOT gates. These results illustrate how artificial intelligence can accelerate quantum control design while providing physically meaningful pulse solutions for superconducting quantum processors.\" data-bio=\"Alejandro Kunold is a Full Professor of Physics at the Universidad Aut\u00f3noma Metropolitana (UAM-A), Mexico, where he leads the Theoretical Physics and Condensed Matter research group.

Using a semi-analytical treatment relying on a power series of the density matrix as a function of time, we find that the crossover occurs in a characteristic time that scales as the inverse of the Hilbert space dimension. The RMT results are contrasted with a paradigmatic model of many-body localization in the chaotic regime, where the GUE statistics is reached at large times, while for short times the statistics strongly depends on the peculiarity of the considered subspace.\" data-bio=\"More about this speaker soon.\">\n        View Details\n    <\/button>\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- Contribution7 -->\n<div class=\"speaker-card\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lgcmm.izt.uam.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Thomas-Stegmann.png\" class=\"speaker-photo\">\n    <h3>Thomas Werner Stegmann<\/h3>\n    <p class=\"institution\">Instituto de Ciencias F\u00edsicas, UNAM<\/p>\n    <h4 class=\"talk-title\">Talk Title: To be announced<\/h4>\n    <button class=\"view-details-btn\" data-name=\"Thomas Werner Stegmann\" data-institution=\"Instituto de Ciencias F\u00edsicas, UNAM\" data-talk=\"Talk Title: To be announced\" data-photo=\"https:\/\/lgcmm.izt.uam.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Thomas-Stegmann.png\" data-abstract=\"More about this speaker soon.\" data-bio=\"Dr. Thomas Werner Stegmann is a physicist and Full Researcher at the Institute of Physical Sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

In a degenerate system, states with exactly the same energy can possess strikingly different spatial structures. We examine this freedom in the two-dimensional isotropic quantum harmonic oscillator. For real superpositions within a fixed energy shell, the zeros of the wavefunction form algebraic nodal curves. Moving through the shell deforms these curves and can change their topology\u2014through rotations, reconnections, or rearrangements of their large-distance branches\u2014without changing the energy. These transitions are organized by finite singularities and degeneracies of the asymptotic nodal structure.\n\nThis geometry also leaves a signature in the quantum probability distribution. Nodal-domain entropy measures how probability is redistributed among connected nodal regions, Cartesian mutual information captures correlations between spatial coordinates, and the position\u2013momentum entropic sum probes global delocalization. The low-lying oscillator shells reveal a progression from rotating nodal lines to conic transitions and cubic branch rearrangements.

In particular, carbon nanodots (CNDs) exhibit remarkable photoluminescence (PL), quantum confinement effects, tunable emission, high photostability, and low toxicity, making them attractive candidates for applications ranging from quantum sensing and bioimaging to optoelectronic and nanophotonic devices. This talk presents recent advances in the synthesis and optical characterization of carbon nanodots produced through pulsed laser ablation and fragmentation of waste-derived biocarbon obtained from agroindustrial residues. By combining sustainable carbonization processes with laser-based nanomanufacturing, it is possible to generate ultrasmall carbon quantum structures whose optical response is strongly governed by surface chemistry, defect states, and the intrinsic composition of the precursor biomass. Particular emphasis will be placed on the excitation-dependent photoluminescence response of these laser-generated carbon nanodots, including wavelength shifts, broadband visible emission, and the role of oxygen-containing functional groups and surface defects in the radiative recombination mechanisms. The relationship between biomass precursor composition, biocarbon microstructure, and the resulting PL behaviour of carbon nanodots will be discussed from both experimental and physicochemical perspectives. Results reveal that the optical response can be modulated through intelligent selection of waste-derived precursors, enabling the engineering of carbon quantum materials with tailored emission properties. These findings provide new insights into the interplay between disorder, surface states, and quantum confinement effects in carbon-based nanostructures. Beyond their fundamental interest, laser-synthesized carbon nanodots from waste-biocarbon represent a sustainable pathway toward the development of low-cost quantum photonic materials within the framework of circular economy. The talk will also address prospective applications of these materials in quantum technologies, including optical sensing, photonic interfaces, bio-optoelectronic systems, and light\u2013matter interaction platforms.\" data-bio=\"Delfino Reyes is a physicist and holds a doctorate in science, both degrees awarded by the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEM\u00e9x), in 2010 and 2014, respectively.
