4:30 - 5:30 pm : Colloquium "Search as (quantum) selforganized process" by Prof. Dr. Giovanna Morigi 5:30 - 6:00 pm : Coffee break 6:00 - 7:00 pm: Exploring academic systems, gender representation, and career strategies: insights from internationally experienced PIs, followed by a discussion. Abstract for the colloquium: Efficient retrieval of information is a core operation in the world wide web, is essential for the sustainance of living organism, and is a paradigm for optimization algorithms. Inspired by the food search dynamics of living organisms, we discuss a search on a graph with multiple constraints where the dynamics is a selforganized process resulting from the interplay of coherent dynamics and Gaussian noise. We show that Gaussian noise can be beneficial to the search dynamics leading to significantly faster convergence to the optimal solution. We then analyse how these concepts can be extended to quantum searches, cast in terms of spatial searches on a graph and discuss whether and when the efficiency of noise-assisted quantum searches can outperform the one of unitary protocols.
