By controlling the interactions between atoms\, one can study the properties of these elementary many-body systems: quantum magnetism\, transport of excitations\, superconductivity… and thus understand more deeply the N-body problem. More recently\, it was realized that these quantum machines may find applications in the industry\, such as finding the solution of combinatorial optimization problems. \nThis seminar will present an example of a synthetic quantum system\, based on laser-cooled ensembles of individual atoms trapped in microscopic optical tweezer arrays. By exciting the atoms into Rydberg states\, we make them interact\, even at distances of more than ten micrometers. In this way\, we study the magnetic properties of an ensemble of more than a hundred interacting ½ spins\, in a regime in which simulations by usual numerical methods are already very challenging. Some aspects of this research led to the creation of a startup\, Pasqal. \nAntoine Browaeys is a research director of the CNRS at the Charles Fabry laboratory\, Institut d’Optique\, France. He is one of the pioneers of quantum computing and simulation with arrays of individually controlled ultracold atoms excited to very high Rydberg states. The start-up Pasqal\, which he co-founded in 2019\, is now steering fundamental research in quantum simulation towards industrial applications. The French Academy of Sciences has awarded Antoine Browaeys the Alfred Verdaguer – Fondation de l’Institut de France 2021 prize\, and elected him as a member of the Institut de France in 2023.  He also received the CNRS Silver Medal in 2021. \nProf. Tim Palmer\, Oxford University\, Royal Society Research Professor in Climate Physics\, Senior Alumni Fellow\, Oxford Martin Institute; Professorial Fellow at Jesus College (United Kingdom) \n“Chaos\, noise and uncertainty: enemies or allies for predicting weather and climate?” \nThe solutions to the physical equations that govern the dynamics of weather and climate exhibit chaotic behavior. In this lecture\, Prof. Palmer will explore how chaos\, noise\, and uncertainty\, initially seen as obstacles\, can be exploited as constructive resources to enhance prediction capabilities from days to decades. \nProf. Tim Palmer is a Royal Society Research Professor in Climate Physics and a Senior Fellow at the Oxford Martin Institute. He has significantly contributed to advance our understanding of climate predictability and extreme event forecasting. He pioneered ensemble methods for uncertainty prediction and has developed practical applications of climate forecasts for public health\, agriculture\, and flood management. Tim Palmer’s recent work focuses on high-resolution climate simulations. He has been recognized by his election to the US National Academy of Sciences in 2020. He recently authored “The Primacy of Doubt: From Quantum Physics to Climate Change\, How the Science of Uncertainty Can Help Us Understand Our Chaotic World” (Oxford University Press\, 2022). \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Parallel sessions - click on the session to see the full programme\n				Please click on the titles below to see the full programme of that session. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Earth & Planetary Sciences and Plasma Physics\n				Chairs: Kristel Crombé (UGent) and François Massonnet (UCLouvain) \nParallel session \n14:30   Laurent Masse (CEA\, France) Inertial Confinement Fusion: Ignition and What Next? \n15:00   Yangyang Zhang (UGent) Bayesian Techniques for Optimization of Nuclear Diagnostics: A Case Study on the WEST Tokamak                                                \n15:15   Alexander Haumann (Alfred Wegener Institute/Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München\, Germany) What goes around comes around: A changing Southern Ocean      \n15:45   break \n16:00   Benjamin Richaud (UCLouvain) Does increased spatial resolution improve the simulation of Antarctic sea ice? \n16:15   Eva Lemaire (UCLouvain) Investigating Iceberg–Sea Ice Interactions in the Southern Ocean Using NEMO-ICB \n16:30   Jerome Sauer (UCLouvain) Extreme Arctic sea ice lows investigated with a rare event algorithm \n16:45   Noé Pirlet (UCLouvain) Impact of a representation of Antarctic landfast ice on the shelf water properties simulated by NEMO4-SI³ \n17:00   Antoine Honet (ULB) Estimation of atmospheric lifetime and emissions of NH3 sources from 15 years of satellite data \nPosters                       \nFeba Francis (UCLouvain) Antarctic Sea Ice Response to Wind Perturbation Experiments \nAnnelies Sticker (UCLouvain) Drivers of Arctic Rapid Sea Ice Loss Events in CESM2 \nAlison  Delhasse (UCLouvain) Towards improved seasonal to interannual predictions of Arctic sea ice through Data Assimilation and dedicated reanalysis \nAlexandre Tytgat (UCLouvain) Block minima modeling of Antarctic’s sea ice extent extremes \nMichel Crucifix (UCLouvain) The WarmAnoxia project \nAugustin Lambotte (UCLouvain) Arctic landfast ice simulation with brittle rheology and probabilistic grounding \nPatricia DeRepentigny (UCLouvain) How predictable was the recent decade-long pause in Arctic summer sea ice retreat? \nPierre Dumortier (ERM/KMS) 40 Years of ICRF Operation on JET: Achievements and Challenges \nDirk Van Eester (ERM/KMS) Almost-off-the-shelf tools for ICRH modelling \nDirk Van Eester (ERM/KMS) ICRH modelling of the Baseline D-T scenario in JET \nBernard Reman (ERM/KMS) Integral dielectric kernel implementation to model RF heating in toroidal plasmas \nArthur  Adriaens (ERM/KMS) Predicting Wall Conditioning \nLuis Daniel López Rodríguez (ERM/KMS) Characterization of a microwave reflectometer for edge density profile measurements at the ICRH antenna on Wendelstein 7-X \nCyrille Sepulchre (EPFL) Suprathermal ion transport and toroidal helicon wave studies in the low-temperature plasma device TORPEX \n \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Condensed Matter and Nanostructure Physics\n				Chairs: Clément Merckling (KULeuven/IMEC) and Benoît Hackens (UCLouvain) \nParallel session \n14:30   Maëlle Kapfer (Univ.
