The series of online seminars Mathematical Challenges in Quantum Mechanics (MCQM) focuses on current topics of mathematical physics, with special attention to the mathematical aspects of quantum mechanics. It aims to bring together the Italian community working on mathematical methods for quantum theory.
The seminars take place on Wednesday afternoon, usually at 14:30 Italian time, on a monthly basis. The schedule for the 2024/25 seminar series is as follows:
- November 6, 2024
Volker Bach (Technische Universität Braunschweig)
- December 18, 2024
David Pérez García (Universidad Complutense Madrid)
- January 15, 2025
Robert Seiringer (Institute of Science and Technology Austria)
- February 9-14, 2025 — MCQM goes live!
School and Workshop Mathematical Challenges in Quantum Mechanics (GSSI, L'Aquila, Italy)
- March 2025

Each seminar will be accompanied by a lecture addressed to PhD students and young researchers, aimed at introducing the broad topic of the seminar and presenting some perspectives of the open problems and mathematical challenges in the field. The lecture is usually held on the same day of the seminar, at 11.30 Italian time.
Titles and abstracts of the MCQM Seminars and PhD lectures are available at this page and this page respectively. To receive the zoom link to attend the seminars and/or the PhD lectures please register here.
The online seminars are part of a long-running series of events organized over the years by the Italian community working on mathematical methods for quantum physics, including the following School and Workshops:
