📊 A new workshop at ESI: Random Matrices and Operators
Organised by Nathanael Berestycki, Paul Bourgade, and Giorgio Cipolloni, the workshop explores random matrices as models for complex correlated systems, with focus on integrability and universality.
🎂 Dedicated to László Erdős’ birthday!

Schrödinger’s Equation Turns 100 🎉
On 27 Jan. 1926, the journal Annalen der Physik received Schrödinger’s manuscript for the first of his four papers on “Quantisation as an Eigenvalue problem”. 🐈
Follow the journey from the original papers to the laboratories & technologies shaping the next century.
Looking forward to the lecture course on Langevin Sampling Algorithms that Ben Leimkuhler will give later this spring at the @esivienna.bsky.social.

📅 ESI’s 2026 workshop programme is now online, with workshops covering probabilistic mass transport, random matrices, diffusive and biological systems, quantum probes of gravity, materials microstructures, statistical physics of glasses, and cell biology interfaces.
Overview: www.esi.ac.at/news/n72
From Monge and Kantorovich to Schrödinger bridges, martingale and adapted transport, discussions led to new ideas and collaborations. The workshop showed how quickly probabilistic mass transport is developing with much more still to explore.
📺 Talks available here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Our workshop “Probabilistic Mass Transport – from Schrödinger to Stochastic Analysis” brought researchers to Vienna to discuss how Optimal Transport connects analysis, geometry, probability, physics, machine learning, and related fields. 🧵⬇️
Welcome to the new board members of the Erwin Schrödinger Institute: Ilse Fischer, Ulisse Stefanelli, and Massimiliano Procura, who joined on January 1, 2026. Many thanks to Christoph Dellago, Michael Eichmair, and Ilaria Perugia for their years of service to ESI. www.esi.ac.at/about/people

One highlight of the week was an inspiring poster session, accompanied by illustrations from Women in Science presented by Angelika Manhart.
The series featured scientists such as Barbara McClintock, Maryam Mirzakhani, Tebello Nyokong and many others.
The workshop Modelling Diffusive Systems: Theory & Biological Applications, organised by Valeria Giunta, Annalisa Iuorio, Angelika Manhart and Cinzia Soresina, has come to an end. The goal was to bring together different communities to explore diffusive systems from multiple perspectives.
On this day 100 years ago, January 27, 1926, Erwin Schrödinger published the first of a series of seminal papers introducing the Schrödinger equation, the cornerstone of #quantum mechanics. ⚛️
How did a single equation reshape our understanding of nature, driving innovation a century later? ⤵️
Yesterday we kicked off “The World in One Line – Schrödinger’s Equation Turns 100” and yes, there was cake 🎂 We even sang Happy Birthday! 🥳

Lots of interest tonight for the panel discussion "Physicist at the Forefront of the AI Revolution" at @esivienna.bsky.social.
We have a great panel of alumni of @univie-physik.bsky.social, who came back to discuss with current students about the opportunities (and perhaps dangers) of AI.
⚛️⚖️ 100 years old — and still shaping our world!
In 1926, Erwin Schrödinger published a series of seminal papers introducing the Schrödinger equation, the cornerstone of quantum mechanics. ✨
