AETHER workshop at ETH Zurich

This week we hosted the first-ever AETHER workshop at Department of Physics (D-PHYS), ETH Zurich, bringing together the developers and scientists behind the new high-performance package for the simulation of fermionic ultracold atomic systems.

The workshop gathered researchers from Stockholm University, EPFL, University of Jyväskylä, Politecnico di Milano, and ETH Zürich for several intense and highly productive days. We discussed the latest developments of the code, tested new implementations, merged branches, optimized workflows, and planned the next milestones for the project.

I personally think this event was very successful and exactly the kind of collaborative environment needed to push a major scientific software project forward!

A huge thank you to all participants for the excellent discussions, ideas, debugging sessions, and contributions throughout the week!

The next big goals are already laid out:
🚀 A first public release of AETHER this summer
📘 A full tutorial and documentation package
📄 Multiple papers currently in preparation on topics including:
• Long-range interactions
• Spin hydrodynamics
• Cavity-mediated interactions

And of course, no workshop would be complete without some good food and social time — including a successful pizza night 🍕🙂

Exciting times ahead for the project and the growing AETHER community!
