The Magic of Disorder and Correlations

Geneva, January 17-19, 2024

Scope


Disorder and correlations are fundamental in nanoscale physics, impacting quantum effects, confinement, energy landscapes, transport behaviors, emergent properties, and device variability. Understanding and manipulating them is crucial for advancing nanoscale systems and their applications. To address these challenges, the conference The Magic of Disorder and Correlations aims to facilitate collaborations and discussions among experts from various fields, fostering cross-disciplinary developments and unveiling the nature of these phenomena in complex systems.

Venue

The Magic of Disorder and Correlations conference will take place in the Auditorium P. F. Tingry A150 located in the ground floor of the Sciences III building of the University of Geneva (Bd d'Yvoy 4, 1205 Genève).

Directions

From Geneva airport


The airport is less than 4 km away from Geneva center.

  • From Geneva airport to Geneva train station by train (7 minutes). There are regular trains from the airport to the main Geneva train station (Cornavin). All the trains stop at Geneva Cornavin station. See train timetable.

  • From Geneva airport to the Sciences III building by bus. The bus station is outside of the check-in desks. Take the bus 5 or 10 and change at Bel-Air. From Bel-Air, take the bus 19 or 2 (to Onex-Cité) and exit at Sainte-Clotilde. Walk south a few minutes to the Sciences III building.

From Geneva train station


From Geneva train station (Cornavin) to the Sciences III building by bus/tram, there are several options:

  • Take the bus 1 (to Hôpital Trois-Chênes) in front of the station, direction to the right, exit at Ecole de Médecine, and walk west a few minutes to the Sciences III building.

  • Walk 5 minutes to bus stop Coutance (2nd rightmost street from station exit). Take the bus 19 (to Onex-Cité) and exit at  Sainte-Clotilde. Walk south a few minutes to the Sciences III building.

  • Take the tramway 14 (to Bernex Vailly), exit at Jonction and walk south-east a few minutes to the Sciences III building.
See bus timetable.

Accommodation

Participants need to arrange their own accommodation in Geneva. We pre-booked a block of 10 rooms from January 16 to 19 at the Home Swiss Hotel****, a 10 minutes walk from the conference venue. For three nights, a special rate of CHF 190 per night for a single room and CHF 220 for a double room, breakfast included, is offered to the conference participants and accompanying persons. To take advantage of this option, you have to contact the hotel directly by email: info@homeswisshotel.ch only, before December 4, and mention the reference code MAGICDQMP. After this date the hotel will release unreserved rooms.

Conference Dinner

The conference dinner will be held on January 18, 2024 at 7pm, at the restaurant Da Matteo, a 15 minutes walk from the conference building (see route).

The registration to the conference dinner is closed.
