Physicists Met at UZH to Empower Tensor Networks
From 14–16 January 2026, the Department of Physics at the University of Zurich hosted FIXNET 2026, a three‑day in‑person workshop dedicated to fixed-point optimization in tensor networks for quantum matter. The event brought together leading experts and early‑career researchers to discuss recent advances in numerical methods for simulating strongly correlated quantum materials—systems central to phenomena such as high‑temperature superconductivity, quantum magnetism, and topological phases.
The workshop was organized as a Pauli Center workshop by a team spanning UZH, ETH Zurich, and international partners with support from the MaNEP Network and the Swiss National Science Foundation. With a strong lineup of speakers from major research institutions across Europe and beyond, FIXNET 2026 strengthened Zurich’s role as a hub for innovation in computational quantum physics.
