INSTITUTIONAL INFO
Following the first edition in 2014, this workshop is intended to discuss recent progress and challenges in our understanding of strongly entangled phases of quantum matter. Selected topics will include topological phases of matter, holography, tensor networks, interacting disordered systems and out-of-equilibrium phenomena. The workshop will bring together leading scientists working in these fields to share their approaches and results.
Following the tradition of the Centro de Ciencias de Benasque Pedro Pascual, the workshop aims at creating a highly interactive atmosphere in which to draw connections between research efforts, develop new ideas and explore novel directions. It will consist of a light schedule leaving ample time for discussions and exchange of ideas among the participants. Pedagogical lectures and discussions panels will be combined with talks discussing most recent advances in the field.
