Workshop on Complex Quantum Matter, Évora, Portugal, 26-31 October 2025
This workshop is supported by several European and US projects and research centers. Our aim is to generate a lively exchange of ideas between researchers working in distinct but interrelated fields. Advances in recent years have witnessed an exciting and promising confluence of the areas of strongly correlated many-body quantum systems, including computational condensed matter physics and quantum information theory.
Topics to be discussed at the workshop will include: quantum critically; quantum transport; entanglement transitions; quantum spin liquids; nonequilibrium quantum statistics; quantum many-body chaos; topological phases of matter; novel properties of graphene; quantum integrability and superconductivity.
On the theoretical side, analytical as well as computational approaches will be highlighted. On the experimental side, a few talks will focus on problems directly related to the workshop topics. The workshop will bring together a number of established experts, as well as many talented young scientists, to further explore, develop, and exploit the connections between these forefront areas of research.
