This Workshop is held in Trieste every two years, since 1987, and is devoted to recent advances in condensed matter physics and materials science, based on realistic calculations of the electronic structure of complex systems.
The aim is a critical discussion of methods and challenging applications. It has become one of the most popular regular events of the international ab-initio electronic structure community. This event also has the ambition to reach out to countries where the electronic structure community is not traditionally as strong as in Europe, the USA and Japan, in coherence with the mission of its host institution, the ICTP.
Topics will span a broad range, including, among others:
Spectroscopy
Strong electronic correlations
Electron-phonon coupling
Superconductivity
Novel functionals
Transport
Advanced Materials
Materials Discovery
Machine Learning
Quantum Computing
