For the 7th year in a row, the VU SR integration festival "AD ASTRA" will once again bring the Vilnius University community together to celebrate the beginning of the new academic year!
"Open Readings" invites you to join a Nobel laureate Professor Anne L'Huillier’s lecture “The World of Atoms at the Attosecond Time Scale”.
Congratulations to everyone on the new school year! On 1 September, we invite all members of the Vilnius University community to come together to welcome the new academic year. Please note that Tuesday, 1 September is the opening day of Vilnius University's academic year, RENOVATIO STUDIORUM – thus there will be no lectures on that day.
Every year on September 1st, the Vilnius University community holds its traditional procession from the Parliament of the Republic of Lithuania to the University's Grand Courtyard, organised by the Vilnius University Students' Representation (VU SA).
We invite you to the VU Alumni Festival. From 2 p.m., the festival's events will take place at Vilnius University's Central Campus, Universiteto st. 3, in the Grand Courtyard.
Here, your Faculty of Physics colleagues and the festival's main programme will be waiting — activities for the whole family and an evening concert. More information: alumnufestivalis.vu.lt .
Whether you completed a bachelor's or master's degree at the Faculty of Physics or earned your doctorate here, you are an important part of the VU community.
We invite you to drop by the faculty at Saulėtekio ave. 9, Building III, and reconnect with coursemates, lecturers, and colleagues you haven't seen in years.
VU Student's Representatives at the Faculty of Physic's invites everyone to the community evening.
The evet will take place at Saulėtekio av. 9, backyard (marked red), on September 24th at 6:00 PM.
Marking the Faculty’s sixtieth anniversary, we invited our community to share their most memorable moments. Colleagues, alumni, and students remember a wide variety of stories. We warmly invite you to discover or revisit them: to pause for a moment in the corridors and stairwells of the III Building at Saulėtekio av. 9.
The Association of Spanish Scientists in the Baltic Countries (ACEBaltic) announced the First Edition of the Antonia Ferrín Moreiras Award for the Best Doctoral Thesis in Astronomy and Astrophysics.
This two-day conference offers a unique opportunity to learn about the latest research conducted at the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) science centre, open access possibilities, and cutting-edge laser plasma technologies. The event is intended for researchers, PhD students, engineers, and anyone interested in ultrafast laser sources, the effects of radiation on biological systems, advances in laser-driven particle acceleration, and the application of artificial intelligence in physics experiments.
The seminar will present experimental studies of wavepacket propagation in a dissipative engineered quantum chain. The work implements a non-Hermitian synthetic lattice with an abrupt interface between dissipative and non-dissipative sub-chains, using the hyperfine manifold states of an Rb-87 Bose–Einstein condensate. By tuning the dissipation strength, the researchers observed the crossover between ballistic propagation, near-perfect absorption, and quantum Zeno reflection. Numerical simulations revealed that optimal absorption occurs when tunnelling and dissipation are properly matched.
The lecture will be delivered by Prof. Oleg Chalykh (University of Leeds, UK).
Seminar will take place on 22 July at 14:00 val. at NFTMC B435 "Aquarium".
This seminar is part of the "Sunrise Valley Quantum Research Seminars" series.
Organisers: Faculty of Physics, Vilnius University, Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, Lithuanian Quantum Technologies Association, Lithuanian Physical Society.
In this seminar, we will discuss the harmonic oscillator as a bridge between classical and quantum mechanics. After reviewing these (mostly familiar) concepts, we will move on to an analogous connection between the classical harmonic oscillator and classical field theory.
The Lithuanian Biophysical Society extends its warmest greetings to everyone on the occasion of International Biophysics Week and invites you to participate in the events.
Find the registration form and program here.
While the local events will be held in Lithuanian, please check out a multitude of events all over the world.
