Mini conference on ‘Recent Trends on Quantum Matter’

Abstract: An informal meeting on recent topics of quantum condensed matter. Our goal for this mini conference is to discuss new forms of quantum matter that arise due to strong electron electron interaction, disorder, strong driving, or topology. In particular, we will focus on how to probe these new forms using non-equilibrium quantum dynamics. Modern numerical, analytical techniques and recent experimental discoveries will be highlighted.

Topics:  

Many-Body localization

Non-equilibrium dynamics

Magnetism, Transport

Quantum Phase transition

Floquet topological phases
