Conference on Quantum Dynamics of Disordered Interacting Systems

Administration

Description

The Conference will address the physics of disordered quantum many-body systems, with an emphasis on quantum dynamics of systems that are under active experimental investigation. The focus will be on the fundamental physics exhibited by novel systems and on emerging phenomena.

Description

Quantum dynamics of disordered many-body systems remains a vibrant research area. In particular, recent years have witnessed an outstanding interest in Anderson localization, one of most fundamental and ubiquitous phenomena in modern condensed matter physics in the many-body setting. Experimentally, it has become possible to explore the remarkably rich interplay of interaction and localization phenomena in a variety of quantum many-body systems. Concepts of quantum information theory, such as entanglement entropy and spectra, play a prominent role in the characterization of phases of strongly interacting disordered matter. The interplay of disorder and interaction effects becomes particularly intricate in systems with non-trivial topology, such as surfaces and edges of topological insulators. The Conference will bring together theorists and experimentalists to discuss recent progress and future perspectives.

Topics
