Entanglement and Dynamical Systems: December 10 – 14, 2018

Organized by Israel Klich, Bruno Nachetergaele and Vladimir Korepin December 10-14, 2018. The workshop presents a modern point of view to dynamical systems. It brings together experts in solid state physics, statistical mechanics, quantum field theory, quantum computation, error correcting codes, machine learning, mathematical physics and quantum optics. New exactly solvable spin chains, which came … Read more

Operator Algebras and Quantum Physics: June 3-30, 2019

Organized by: Stefan Hollands, Vaughan Jones, Gandalf Lechner, Roberto Longo Since Heisenberg’s and Jordan’s “matrix formulation” of quantum mechanics about one hundred years ago, theoretical quantum physics has been a major incentive for mathematical research into operator algebras. The stimulus from physics has helped the development of this field, founded by von Neumann with the … Read more

Progress in quantum collective phenomena – from MBL to black holes: November 13 – 17, 2017

Organized by: Alexander Abanov, Sriram Ganeshan, Kristan Jensen, and Vadim Oganesyan Recent years have witnessed significant progress in understanding the behavior of quantum many-body systems without relying on the age-old assumptions of thermalization or equilibration. Qualitatively new and different real-time dynamics have been found in fields ranging from condensed matter systems to strongly interacting theories … Read more

Exactly Solvable Models of Quantum Field Theory and Statistical Mechanics: September 4 – November 30, 2018

Organized by: Nathan Haouzi, Vladimir E. Korepin, Sergei L. Lukyanov, Nikita A. Nekrasov, Samson Shatashvili, and Alexander B. Zamolodchikov Weekly program seminars are held on Mondays at 11:30am and Fridays at 11:00am. For the full upcoming schedule please visit our calendar: https://scgp.stonybrook.edu/calendar/full-calendar Integrability is a traditional area of mathematical physics. For 1+1 dimensional field theory the … Read more

Geometry of Manifolds: October 23 – 27, 2017

Workshop: Geometry of Manifolds October 23-27, 2017 Organized by: Xiuxiong Chen, Claude LeBrun, Blaine Lawson, and John Morgan During the week of October 23-27, 2017, the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics will host a workshop concerning canonical geometric structures on differentiable manifolds. Key researchers in differential geometry, gauge theory, complex geometry, symplectic geometry, and … Read more

Simons Center Cafe – Under New Management

Effective Monday October 2, the Simons Center Cafe has transitioned to new management under the direction of Executive Chef Lynne Gigliotti. We welcome you to come and try a new taste experience! The new Simons Center Cafe will continue to serve breakfast and lunch daily (Monday – Friday) from 8:30am – 10:30am and 11:30am – 2:30pm. … Read more

Geometrical and statistical fluid dynamics: October 11 – 17, 2017

Organized by: Uriel Frisch, Konstantin Khanin and Rahul Pandit Some of the most basic questions relating to the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations for the motion of a 3D incompressible fluid are still open. There is a strong belief that answers to these questions cannot be obtained without creative use of geometric/Lagrangian and measure-theoretic/probabilistic tools. This … Read more
