The International Conference on Nonequilibrium and Ultrafast Quantum States has been held since 2022, which aims to provide a platform for experimental and theoretical researchers working on nonequilibrium states and associated ultrafast phenomena in a broad scope of physical systems including molecules and materials.

This year, with the participation of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, the Summer School & International Conference on Nonequilibrium and Ultrafast Quantum States (NUQS-2026) combines frontier lectures, hands-on tutorials, and interactive discussions covering experimental and theoretical approaches to ultrafast science. A central goal of this summer school is to connect early-career researchers from physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering, enabling them to build interdisciplinary networks and laying the foundation for sustainable, long-term scientific collaboration worldwide.

NUQS-2026 now warmly welcomes worldwide participants. 

Conference Topics:

• Attosecond spectroscopy
• Time-resolved photoemission and microscopy
• Ultrafast electron and X-ray techniques
• Strong-field and cavity-controlled matter
• First-principles simulations of light–matter interaction
• Nonequilibrium quantum materials
