At 18-22 of September, the I Samartsev Workshop (FEKS/IWQO-2023) took place in Svetlogorsk! It brings together approximately 100 scientists from scientific and educational organizations in Russia, Belarus, and South Africa.
The Workshop was organized by the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) in collaboration with the Kazan Scientific Center of the RAS, and the Moscow Pedagogical State University (MPSU) with the support of the RAS, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, and the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.
RAS representatives who attended the event were: Gregory I. Dolgikh, Alexey A. Kalachev A.A., Foreign Member of the RAS Sergey Ya. Kilin, Nikolay N. Kolachevsky, Vladimir V. Kocharovsky, Foreign Member of the RAS G. Leuchs, Alexander G. Litvak, Andrew V. Naumov, Sergey V. Prants, Nikolay N. Rozanov, Igor I. Ryabtsev.
The co-chairs of the International Program Committee of the worksop:
Alexey A. Kalachev (Kazan Scientific Center of the RAS, Kazan Federal University) and Andrew V. Naumov (LPI RAS, MPSU, Institute of Spectroscopy of the RAS (ISAN)).
The scientific secretary was Kamil R. Karimullin (LPI RAS, MPSU, ISAN).
The local organizing committee was headed by Sergey V. Sazonov (National Research Center Kurchatov Institute).
“Samartsev Workshop” are a continuation of the remarkable series of international symposiums on photon echo and coherent spectroscopy (PECS) and international workshop on quantum optics (IWQO), which have been held in different cities of Russia from 1973 to 2021. This is truly a special event as it is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Professor Uno H. Kopvillem and the 60th anniversary of the publication of the first article on photon echo.
The organization and conduct of the event were traditionally carried out by an inter-institutional scientific team of researchers, graduates, and students from the LPI RAS (Branch in Troitsk), MPSU, ISAN, HSE University, Skoltech, and MSU.
As part of the Samartsev Workshop, there were held thematic sections of the following topics:
– Current problems in coherent, nonlinear, and quantum optics
– Anniversary section “Coherent and nonlinear optics. Photon echo and transition processes” dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Uno H. Kopvillem and the 60th anniversary of the publication of the first article on photon echo
– Quantum informatics. Quantum optical technologies
– Photonics. Interaction of radiation with matter
– Atomic optics and nano-optics
– Spectroscopy and microscopy of single quantum emitters
– Functional optical materials
– Medical photonics
– Poster session

In order to preserve the continuity of scientific events associated with the name of Professor Vitaly V. Samartsev, it was decided to recommend to committees to supplement the official name of the Workshop and to conduct them in the future as the “Samartsev Workshop on Quantum Optics and Photon Echo (IWQO/FEKS)”.
The II Samartsev Workshop on Quantum Optics and Photon Echo (IWQO/PEKS) are planned in September 2025 at the Federal Territory “Sirius”.
