It is with great sadness that we recently received from the Dipartimento di Fisica of the Universita degli Studi di Padova the terrible news of the loss of our good friend and colleague, Professor Andrea Vitturi. Quoting the received communication: Andrea Vitturi was an exceptional person, scientist and professor, under
many respects. He possessed a vast knowledge of science and physics in particular, he had an uncommonly deep mathematical vision and a quick insight for simple solutions to c...
Opening of a PhD contract associated with the project PID2022-136228NB-C21, titled "Shape coexistence and quantum phase transitions in atomic nuclei with applications in quantum computing," supported by the Ministry of Science and Research. The contract will have a duration of 4 years and will commence in March 2024.

Professor Higgs is renowned the world over for his prediction of the existence of a new particle – the so-called Higgs boson – which he first proposed in 1964. It would be almost 50 years before the particle's existence could be confirmed, with experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN finally confirming Higgs' theory in 2012. He was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for this work in 2013, along with Francois Englert. Professor Higgs was also a great teacher and mento...

Pierre Agostini (Ohio State University, US), Ferenc Krausz (Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics, Germany), and Anne L’Huillier (Lund University, Sweden) are to be awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work toward generating light pulses on attosecond (10?18 s) time scales, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced on Tuesday. The physicists’ pioneering research in ultrafast-laser science has opened up investigations of electronic motion in atoms, molecules, and materials.
