Workshop: Complexity, information, and tractable simulations of quantum many-body dynamics: June 8-12, 2026

Organized by: Vincenzo Alba Jerome Dubail Mari-Carmen Banuls Aditi Mitra Anatoli Polkovniko The workshop will foster interactions among experts in quantum and classical simulation methods, quantum information, and tractable systems, to assess the state-of-the art of these questions, and propose benchmarks that may help answer it. First, the workshop will stimulate a complexity-informed exploration of … Read more

Complexity, information, and tractable simulations of quantum many-body dynamics: June 1 – July 2, 2026

Organized by: Vincenzo Alba Jerome Dubail Mari-Carmen Banuls Aditi Mitra Anatoli Polkovnikov Triggered by unprecedented control in cold-atom experiments, trapped ion setups, or superconducting platforms, the rise of Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices urges theoretical physicists, computational scientists and mathematicians to quantitatively assess the complexity of quantum many-body dynamics and quantify the computational capabilities … Read more

Geometric Measure Theory on Metric Spaces with Applications to Physics and Geometry: September 15-19, 2025

Organized by: Luigi Ambrosio (Pisa) Andrea Mondino (Oxford) Raquel Perales (CIMAT) Christina Sormani (CUNYGC and Lehman College) In the nearly twenty-five years since the publication of Ambrosio-Kirchheim’s seminal paper, Currents on Metric Spaces, there have been significant applications of this generalization of Geometric Measure Theory (GMT) that deepen our understanding of both Geometry and Physics. … Read more
